My last car was a 1990 240SX, I loved that car, everything worked no electrical gremlins like my rx7 has.

handled VERY nicely, better steering feel than my rx7. and easy to work on.

Yeah, I'm always amazed at that too. Could those cars be any more similar?

You are semi-correct. It seems they just up and switched, but engines from the same years were still compatible. From Wiki:

Chevrolet V8 pattern

So named because it began with Chevrolet's V8 engines.

Chevrolet big-block V8's

Chevrolet small-block V8's

GM Vortec 4300 90° V6

GM Iron Duke RWD inline 4 (Early RWD Variants, later versions may use a FWD pattern, and have two possible starter locations)

Jeep 2.5L/151 in³ Jeep used the GM Iron Duke inline 4 1980-1983. These use a Chrysler Torqueflite 904 automatic transmission with a Chevrolet bellhousing.

Chevrolet Inline 6 (1963 on)

Chevrolet 153 Inline 4 (Chevy II, pre-Iron-Duke)

GM metric pattern

Also called the GM small corporate pattern

This pattern has a distinctive odd-sided hexagonal shape.

GM 60° V6 family FWD/RWD V6; 2.8/3.1/3.4 L

Buick FWD/RWD 90° 3800 V6

Cadillac 4.1/4.5/4.9 L V8

Isuzu 3.5L DOHC V6

1984-03 Jeep/AMC/Chrysler 2.5L/150 in³ I4 found in Jeep Cherokee, Wagoneer, Comanche, and Wrangler models (except Grand Wagoneer & Grand Cherokee) and 1996-2002 Dodge Dakotas.

Jeep/AMC 2.8L V6 (GM engine)

GM Iron Duke FWD inline 4

1984-93 GM Iron Duke/Tech-4 RWD inline 4

You know why I like GM? Because I can take a V8 out of a suburban and put it in my ZR-2, needing only motor mounts, an electric fan and two wires wired into the ECU that is already in my truck. Talk about a simple swap. I love it.
