yup and dont be afraid of the awd engines, newer q50 awd engines are readily available this time year, lol snow, and all you have to do is swap the mount brakets, the oil pan. you can keep the new oil cooler and updated cooling system from the q if you grab a 2012+ z expansion tank and caps and then it won't suck *** to bleed the system and will be much less likely to overheat and lose the head gaskets. if you want to go with an aftermarket oil cooler you can take off the one on the q50 engine and loop the lines to it and swap the piece the filter screws onto from the one on your old motor. the newer engines have all kinds of updates to common problems. then if its a manual car definitly get a cmak kit for the clutch. this will all run you $2-3k

Forgot to mention if you get one with the wrong transmission all you have to do is swap in the appropriate pilot bushing for whatever trans you have

edit also you have to use your original harness and now is a great time to check it over for cracking tape, broken connectors, and corroded grounds
