I can get a 2k4 engine + tranny full front clip for $1200 will this work on the 96 3.5 swap?

plz e-mail me answers @ j.esseboom@gmail.com since I am at the auction and need an asap answer soI could buy it today.

THNX

 

sounds like a great deal, and besides, if you see it will not work you can part it out and get more than your money back.

 

true, but I want to see if it will work..where are the pro's..tilley, japmax and sr where are you?

 

Which tranny?

 

6 speed manual

 

i say take it and see what you can do.

 

 

Ok, Im Heading Back There Right Now..had To Get The Cash From The Bank..thanks Guys.!

 

is it like chopped right after the firewall? whats included in the clip? seems likea good deal. when i picked up my clip i got it for $1550

 

No it's everything....including dash and all

 

Got pics? If not get some ASAP.

 

I'll take pics of it tomorrow, basically you go to one of those places where they buy/fix and sell crashed vehicles...tell him you want a crashed 5th gen..he'll go to the auction and bid for you...you pay him like $400.

I got this for $1200 + 400 his fee...= $1600 total
manifold and valve cover are damaged thou, but at the speed shop they said that's minor.

 

so basically you can now do a complete 3.5 swap i pressume? that a good deal. would like to see pics as well. i also bought my parts car at a auction.

 

Not a bad deal. If you are planning on using the full harness the 6spd wont be too bad too swap in. Other then having too customize the mount on the trans too body. I just got my 6spd 99 running.

 

Too bad the 6-speed has a heavy flywheel.

 

thats what aftermarket is for

 

Not worth all of the hassle and money IMO. 5-speed have really agressive gearing for a VQ35 already.

 

As the old term states...

"Run what your brung"

Or in this case, a 6 speed will be good enough. We all know the 6th Gen engine makes some serious ponies, and this should be a good swap overall.

 

attaching the 6 speed mount to the body is the easiest thing. is it held in place with bolts instead of beign welded in. all you have to do is remove the spot welds from the 4th gen mount and drill new holes to hold the 6 speed mount in. i love my 6 speed. gas mileage is excellent especially on the freeway.

 

, I like this guy.

 

question...is the 2004 6 speed tranny lsd or non LSD?

 

02-03 Maximas have diff block mounting holes than Altimas and 6th gens and Murranos. I had a chance to get a 04 Maxima engine for free- had a rod knock, from the dealer but the motor mount brackets looked way off.

 

Just get a 02-03 Maxima VQ or a 02+ Altima VQ. Most people who have done this swap used the 02 Maxima VQ and I used the 02 Altima and both work exactly the same. Go with what is proven to work.

 

I already bought the engine...it's already at the speed shop being taken apart to be worked on and stuff.,

 

all I need to know is it LSD or not, I didnt ask anything about will it fit and bla bla bla.

 

3.5L Altimas have no oil cooler on them, atleast the 3 I worked on didn't have any which I found very supprising. Oil pans are different also. 04 Max and Murrano have the same blocks, and from looking at the Max and Altima 3.5Ls its clear that mounting brackets are in diff spots. On the Series III VQ35DE.

 

Look for pictures on .org of a 6spd LSD install and this will tell you if the tranny has LSD or not. Cases are different on the LSD trannies.
