Well my 94 is dead, I just bought a brand new tranny for it before she died.

You should probably define "dead" for us.
It sounds like you don't want to mess with your engine, but it would be easier to give advice if we knew what the problem was. I would rather have a running 94 Maxima than a running 93 Altima, if I had the choice.

If he's willing I'll be more than willing to stop by his place to see exactly what involved with his "dead" car. It might be worth traveling down here to take a look-see. Heck I even take a look at his sister Altima to have an idea if the swap is possible. Considering the Altima is a 93 it probably has a 4cyl which would make the swap a little bit hard to impossible. But if the Altima and Max shares the same trans family (RE4FO4 is that our trans code) anything is possible.

The gasket head is done with.. And i live in west plam beach florida, Me and my dad will part the car out. There are lots of new parts on it..Its not worth the $2300 to fix it simply because i cannot afford it, The system and everything is out but theres lots of new things like raidator/tranny/tires.
OR id prolly sell it as a whole parts car including the new tranny for 1500 roughly.

Even though we have a clearer idea what dead means, I'll still like to stop by. I'm flexable all days through out the week, at different times through out the week. If it's ok with you let me know, drop me a email.

Mike stoped by and we talked about the max for awhile, Im going to keep my max and make a project out of this. It's going to need a whole new engine, The problem was the time belt and when that broke there was a good chance that the pistions cracked the valves, So i guess i'll just keep the max work harder and try to get it on the road again soon. Btw Mike thanks for all your tips and advice on the max (Wish my max could look half as good as yours) I'll keep you guys updated on my progress.

Yeah, it's definately a doable project. Especially if you go the motor swap route. Depending on your skill level doing a motor swap is sometimes easier than pulling the heads and dealing with valve timing when you're going back on. There's a lot more itmes to pull when pulling the heads compared to pulling the entire motor. And since you got a little front end repair to do, pulling a motor is a lot easier (clearance wise) with the front end off.
1)As you mention, you and your dad pull/push the car to a suitable location. It goes without saying it will be a lot easier to work on the car if you have a solid foundation, no grass, dirt, etc.
2)Strip the front end, fenders, bumper and deadlight assy, radiator/condensor, radiator support. I'll leave the hood just for added protection from the elements.
3)Try a straighten as much as you can in the left front corner to mirror image the right front corner
4)Pull out old motor, install new motor. Make sure to label all wires and hoses
5)Re-install front end, change all fluids, keep fingers cross and turn the ignition key
