Don't think anyone has put a VE into a VG car, wouldn't be worth it in my opinion. VE will need complete new wiring harness', VE tranny, mounts, etc. Might as well just buy a VE Shell with a good 5-spd in it if you want to take that route. Plus, VLSD ftw

The swap has been done actually. And it was worth it...

Oh, and to the author of this thread - nice work! Enjoy! It's reassuring to see others going the distance for their 3rd gen.

Dmontzsta,

Didn't you have two black maxima's at one time? A 3rd gen and a 4th gen? If so, what happened to the 4th gen?

Good to see dmontzsta's car is in good hands. Just one thing I don't really approve of is the non OEM fuel pump. Thats one of a few important things that needs to be OEM.
