engine swap
has anyone heard of putting in a 4th gen motor in a 3rd gen? does it work with no problems if done correctly? both are 3.0 liter so i was suppose that it wouldnt be that much larger. i was wondering because my max is getting some high mileage on it, id rather keep it and get a motor swap then to buy a new car

It's about an easy/feasable of a swap as the VQ, so why not??

Da-Max, you sound like someone else I know 
Anyhoo, this person sounds at least genuine in the request.
A VQ swap would be a real nice swap. Especially if that included the VQ3.5. But consider the following:
1) Completely different engine mounts
2) Completely different bellhousing bolt pattern I assume.
3) Completely different wiring harness.
Your statement about being "done right" is a loaded one. As in you would have be loaded to make it happen.
Now, this is has been discussed before so I suggest searching before getting your head cut off from the sharks.

, the pressure differential in height forces more air in so, like i go from 2 inches to 8 inches in about 6 seconds flat
