Are all vq37vhr excluding awd the same?

[Jrod]

So excluding the awd g37 which has a different crankcase and injectors, are all other vq37vhrs the same? I have an 09 370Z im doing a swap in and want to know if a 2011 g37 rwd vq will drop right in or if I will have to swap any parts.

If this question has been asked before please link the other thread, did a quick search and didnt find it. Thanks.

Yes, it should drop right in. You may have to change a few parts and hoses but the motor itself is exactly the same.

Thank you.

The last long block swap I was involved with was swapping a 2012 VQ37HR donor engine from a 2012 G37 into a 2009 370Z. Look for a VQ37HR engine that is from a 2012+ Sedan G37 RWD. The engine swap will interchange but minor things like injectors and some random sensors have changed over the years you will see if you install a engine from the 2008-2011 years. The only differences we encountered was the coolant rerouting hose was different but can be capped off and the engine mounts were slightly different polyurethane engine mounts were installed instead of the Genuine Nissan engine mounts so, check the engine mounts and make sure they are compatible if not purchase new ones. Other than that everything from your 09 370Z VQ37HR can swap right over it is interchangeable. This is a great opportunity to install a upgraded oil pump. Best of luck with your swap every situation can be different.

The awd engine is the exact same it is only the oilpan that is different. You can bolt a 2wd pan to an awd and have a 2wd engine
