Why do 3.5 intake cams have to be modded to work in VQ35DE going into 4th gen?
Why do 3.5 intake cams have to be modded to work in VQ35DE going into 4th gen?
A buddy of mine and I are trying to figure out why the intake cams in the 3.5 will have to be modded to work with the full 3.5 in a 4th gen. Is it because the VTC will be removed? Or because the timing equipment will be from the VQ30DE?

Yeah he is this for a buddy of mine in the Midwest thats also interested in the swap he brought up the question and I figured I'd ask here, but I will ask Tilley next time I speak to him he explained once before but I don't remember the exact details as to why I don't know enough about motors yet...
They need to be modified because the dowel pin holes on the 3.5 cams are in a different location than stock 3.0 cams. They are moving the dowel pin hole to a different location on the cam to maintain stock cam timing.
