consolidating threads.... four threads on one page about unlikely/impossible engine swaps is enough.

use your maxima tranny as well. it'll bolt right up. bellhousing bolt patterns are the same for all VE and VGs.

Hi Matt,
Much, much thanks!! In all honesty, sometimes I come here for advice and other times, to offer advice. Some people here are very, very knowledgeable. I like "thinking outside the box" a little. Again, much sincere thanks for helping with advice to a fellow enthusiast, fellow car nut.

there is a different moor then what u guys mention and dat is the nissan pick up se v6 motor it has a v6 as well and i beleave it might be the motor ur lkooking at from the frontier and exterra but u could prolly pull this motor for a cheaper prie then from the frontier or exterra and the displacement of 3.3 liters i beleave as ive looked into that tight of boring of the vg motor. best option bro in myu case i would say to u as my word of adives is go turbo u want more power then doing a motor swap ull end up sending alot more money in the end prolly sawpping motors out then doing turbo and with turbo at 4.5 lbs boost it should be good for bout 300 hp as long as u have intake and exhuast along with blow off valve and intercooler this being that u use the ve motor as for the vg i am not sure as im a ve owner myself and am thinking of doing a custom twin turbo set up in my ve but thats a whole different story as its not anywhere being started.
