So if you wanted to swap a v8 in your 240sx AND get it street legal then the ideal motor to swap in would be the 91-96 Infiniti Q45 VH45DE motor. This is what ive been told for California.

Look up Peter Tarach's S13 build, he got it BAR'd.
There is 3 rules to engine swaps in Ca.
- it has to be newer then the car
- retain all the emission related stuff
- it can't be a truck engine, meaning you cross car/truck classes.
