Is it easier to put a 3.5 in a 4th gen or 5th gen
is it easier to put a 3.5 in a 4th gen 5 speed or a 5th gen 5speed?
both cars have a 5 speed trans
all I would be doing is buy a 3.5 longblock and use the stock transmission from which ever car I pick to do thw swap on

I would think 5th gen is easier because the 3.5 conversion needs parts from your car (timing chain cover, etc.). The 5th gen is almost the same motor as the 4th, making me think it would be hundreds less than a 3.5 conversion.

2k2-2k3 with a vq35
2k2-2k3 with a vq35
Most 4th gens are worth 3-6k max
Most 00-01 are 8-10K...
02's I see at 11-16k

Damn dude you need to use some logic. Just because you got it for that doesnt mean everyone will. Not all of have a brother that will do the install for us
I got my 00vi for free, did everyone else? NO! So should I post my price for the 00vi or the average price?
I can see why you got banned too,
for StephenMax.

Which one is it worth doing it to, is another thread all together.

decide which body style you like better and do the swap with that. Once you do the swap, the car will lose quite a bit of value except to someone on the org that appreciates it. IMO, I'd use a cheaper 4th gen and swap it

DONE.... agreed.. checkmate... and all that good stuff...
and yes it would loose value (unless sold to orger who sees value or other car enthusists)... the more a car is modded the less the value becomes for the average buyer... when i look for a car i was something driven by a grandma at 40mph all the time.. not something that has been pushed to redline on a daily basis...
swapped cars need more care.... and also more attention.... things can go wrong and there are little qwirks only the person who did the install will know...
