Will The RB series fit in a Datsun??

Hi everybody!!!!

My name is Nate and I have a Datsun '78 280z and was wondering if anybody has tried swapping out the stock L28 I6 engine and transmission to install a RB motor and transmission? The Idea original came to me when a friend I work with was Telling me about his Skyline and figured it should. I just want to know if its been done before and what kind of mods need to be done and if there are different type of engine and transmission mounts I need to get. Any Help is apreciated hope to post the pics of the car when I get a can.:smilie_th

Simple answer, yes. It's definitely been done before.
