The reason these neanderthal engines fit is down to single cams and pushrods.

You won't fit a twin cam V in easily.

Are you sure it's from a 350z?

Doesn't look like it.

I think it is Ron, it's just got a different cam cover. The earlier v6's only had a single intake, so it's probably one of them.

As I thought - it's an Acura 3.7 SOHC V6. The cam gear is on clear display and the air intake for the manifold goes the other way round for the 350Z V6

Yeah; J37 is tiny & light.

Bit of a stroker, though & SOHC.

^Its actually a J32a engine. If you look closely they branded it the S3200 (below the N1 Concepts on the block)
