Exclamation L28T swap into S13...info?

my friend is helping me swap a 1983 280z's L28T I6 turbo motor into my S13 240sx. im not really sure if its been done before but its something we wanted to try. we are gonna rebuild the motor and make custom motor mounts cause im sure they are different but does anyone know of any major problems we might run into with this project? any information will help, thanks.

The motor is alot heavier than the KA, so get better suspension. and try to position it as low and far back in the bay as possible.

(not an ideal motor to put into an S-chassis)

i know its not ideal. usual swaps are the SR or the RB series engines but i wanted to do something a little different. i will have to fabricate alot of shit. but its something to occupy my time.

Its been done. HybridZ has a couple guys with it in both the s13 coupe and hatch. I just like them in the S30 and the S130 body
