350 Engine in 370
Yes you read that right.
I recently rebuilt and turbo'ed the engine on my 350.
Once the engine is broken in i need a body, the current one is just a test bed, its an '03DE.
Originally I was going to replace the interior with mostly '06 parts. At that point I might as well just do an engine swap into a blown '06 body. Got thinking and why not use a 370 engine...
Will it bolt up semi easily? Is it worth the work, i already have to pull the engine.. Searched everywhere and couldn't find much, might just go look under the hook at one.
Thanks!!!

If you're asking if swapping your FI VQ35dE into a Z34 chassis will be easy, the answer is no. Outside of multiple mechanical differences, the software differences will be huge.

If you do a search, you'll find no one has even tried that swap. That should tell you how easy it'll be!
You're way better off working with your Z33 chassis and updating/repairing it as necessary.
