350z engine
So my 06 rx8 has 150k+ miles and I want to swap engines. The mechanic at the Mazda dealership told me that I can put a 350z engine on an rx8 and they are willing to put it in. I found one for $3200 with 50k miles from a manual 2008 350z..My question is, do you have to do any modification to install this engine on a rx8?

There are a bunch of swapped 8s running around in Pakistan because they don't have the experience or patience to deal with rotaries. Every one I've seen looks like it was installed in a hurry using a sawzall, though.

i like exploring the potential of OEM engines. I will be putting an LSx in my FC though. After my second 13bt I'm ready for a change

ok, where is this 1337 mazda tech who can do direct 350z swap? im really interested in putting 1zfe into the 8 , probably needa a little more work than a 350z swal but since this tech is so 1337, im sure he can do it, i got a few piggy banks that i have since i was five and im ready to break them!

so i guess it isn't possible or are here a lot of sarcastic *****? you can swap a 350z engine with a skyline r34 and a toyota cressida wagon with a toyota supra..why wouldnt be possible to swap a rx8 engine with a 350z?
