I am not sure on the VQ. My knowledge field in Nissan engine is only in the SR now.
There are AWD, FWD, and RWD SR engines out there, and the block from the AWD and FWD SR are different from the RWD SR engine, meaning you cannot use a GTiR's block and S-chassis transmission to do a swap. That's why people import SR engines to the state. The engine mounts, for example, are located in different location. Not everything fits the same in a RWD platform to FWD and AWD platform. The reason FWD and AWD can do is because the different among them is the transmission. The engine is located in the same position. I believe engine mounts are important because they hold the engine into the engine bay. So, if the position of them are different, they cannot interchange.
