Ballpark conversion cost?

Not that I could afford it now,

But:

How much do you think it would cost to swap a used/good condition 02/03 engine and 6 spd tranny into a 00 maxima. Parts/labor after its all said and done, what kind of number are we talking about here?

Thanks
Happy Modding

$2000 for an engine and transmission? That's just a wee bit low......

Yes, you can swap it. Yes it has been done. No, it isn't worth it.

Some guy that had a wrecked 2k2 to part out. He wasn't a regular orger, but he had lots of pics because he was trying to sell it.

He wasn't "regularly" on the forums...... He just posted once to sell the car.
