removing engine

I like my engine...I just don't particularly like my Max anymore. It's just not sporty enough. Is there anyway to buy g35's or 350z's without engine's in them so I could just put my engine in and sell the rest?

those are rwd. you are fwd. in short the answer is no unless you had a wad of money to do a good amount of custom fabricating.

Man, that work work at all. who are you kidding here? your not supose to bolt it up sideways. Technicly, it is to be bolted up up side down so the transaxel and tranny have a direct fit. I don't see how your car moves... unless you know something we don't know...

Actually I just did the same mod last night and it only took 30 minutes! You have to mount the engine at a 45 degree angle in the bay of the g35. Careful because there is barely enough room for it, but once you get it in there it purrs like a kitten and roars like a tiger!

Totally easier and cheaper than buying a g35 or 350z. That would be insane!

OK....OK stop making fun of him.......

Lately (since i cleaned the TB and had problems) I've been thinking of selling the Max.... I don't want to and I most likely won't but there have been things that make me think the maxima is overpriced....sometimes only the engine keeps me wanting it....it's not what i want
