Default 5.3 swap

Hey guys, i have a few questions for yall. I bought a 5.3 off a friend and want to swap it in my 1990 nissan 300zx. I have talked to a few ppl about the swap and it sounds kinda easy. I also sent an email to allen at nelsonperformance about making me a plug and play harness for the swap. I would like to know what yu guys think about this swap and if anyone on here has done it or ever heard of it being done. I dont want to cut my fire wall but will if need be. I also need a few random parts and things for the motor but ill look in the for sale area of this forum. Im new to the Ls motors so i dont want to fubar anything by just jumping into this. Thanks alot yall
