Engine Swap?
I have an 04 350z Enthusiast, it runs cool and all of that, but it has over 100,000 miles on it. I was thinking maybe an engine swap? Any suggestions on what I should do?

well there only 2 options i can think off the top of my head. 1. ls(#) 2. RB swap. Either one is going to easily coast you over 10k each.

+1 why rebuild if it's not giving you problems? Maybe build and FI if money permits.

OPs question is pointless. There is no replacement interval for an engine. You run it until it has problems that demand a replacement. On the VQ, it's nowhere near 100K miles.

I kid, I kid. Enjoy many more miles, drive it to the wheels fall off... If it runs fine, why replace it?

Find a motor from a wrecked 2004 with less miles and put in your car.

Why were you thinking an engine swap? What goes wrong at 100k miles?

You're right - that
is a funny suggestion. Why swap one 300HP engine for another 300HP engine that's at least 15 years old?
