Nguyen, something like this can be accomplished but not cheaply or easily. A 370Z engine doesn’t just bolt up to the accouterments in the 350Z engine bay, nor does it mach up to a 350 transmission. The 350’s computer will not sync to a 370 and a computer from the 370Z donor car will not readily be compatible with your car.
Any of these difficulties can be overcome. However if your car is an early model (2003-2006) with the VQDE engine series, the cost, time and trouble will not be sensible, as you will end up putting vastly more money into the car than it’s worth.
If you want to keep this car long term and don’t mind investing some real money for monster power, look into a GM V8 LS series engine swap. There are readily available kits to make this happen. Look into the engine-drivetrain section of the 350z tech area of this form to read about a ton of these conversions.

For the time and money LS would be a better route. However, both options are expensive and time consuming.
