All of the Nissan USDM car engines are truck engines, long stroke, no revs, no fun!
I heard someone say that an RB engine will NOT fit in a Nissan truck. The front end is not long enough for it to fit. The 240 had a longer nose on it, which allowed you to barely squeeze in the straight six. With lotsa fab skills, it'd be possible to shoehorn one in, but it'd be very difficult.

Can I put a turbo in my non-turbo? Yes. The trunk is quite large.
Can I put a Supercharger in my Z31?Yes. You can probably put it next to the turbo.
Can I put a Z32/newer 300ZX/VG30DETT in my Z31? This one is iffy. You'd have to disassemble it to get it in the trunk.
not the RB25 or 26, but what about the RB20? those seem to fit in the 240 with ease, so im sure the truck would be able to stick one in.

If it's possible, I'd like to know, because I want to do that. I really wanna put one in a 510, but the front end on that thing is way small.

No RB will fit the trucks without clearencing the firewall. All are inline 6's and all have the same length, no matter what the displacement.For a swap, I would consider either a SR20DET or a 5.0 Ford V8. Difficulty is about equal as both require fabrication and rewiring to fit.The V8 will make it nose heavy though, and the SR will not. There is also the KA24DE used in 98 or newer Frontiers (and 91 and newer 240's) or the VQ30E from any number of Nissan models.

i'll have to come up with the money...really my truck isn't mine.it's my dad's but i'm the one who drives it and i'm the one who pays for the modifications for it...(cosmetically so far anyway) so maybe in a few years i'll have enough money saved up to buy the truck from him and then save up even more money and do an engine swap..i think it would be a nice project..(i would probably also have to save a couple thou. to get a beater car for the time being while i'm working on my truck~

Didn't those trucks come out with the VQ30 (or VG30?) in Japan? Sounds like an easier swap idea to me? There are rear drive turbo versions of both these motors if you're really power hungry.
