Re: swap

this swap is impossible!!!! you need to use the O-pipe from a Pathfinder and all this other crap...its not worth it! plus you have to fit the RWD drive train transversely and it'll stick out about 5 ft. past the fender...

becareful talking about that stuff around here. you'll get mega-flamed and told to search.

it will fit, but with some modifying. the tranny won't fit because it's rwd and your car is fwd. that's around what you'll find one of those engines for. it's an ok deal. especially if you can get the whole wiring harness and ecu out of it.
