I am planning on swapping the 3.5 motor from an '02 I35 into my 99 maxima. I can get it done for $400...i just need to know what other things would have to be swapped besides obviously the engine harness. I really appreciate the help guys. seriously.

edit: i know i'll need a stage 2 clutch, and the plate. if its a long list of stuff if someone could link me to a thread here, i've looked for a little bit.

 

read the FAQ

 

i read it like 10 times already, and i still can't get a concrete list of things I will need to change for the 3.5

i just feel like i'm missing something.

the fact that the car was automatic will that matter?

 

I don't think you've read it. My personal opinion.

 

I would agree if you've read it 10 times but still arent sure of what you will need, you might need to re read it again.

plus the FAQ has a list of all the parts/tools you'll need. (not a complete list).

 

WOW...$400.00!!! That's dirt-cheap...especially considering how much time it takes (when done properly, anyway). I hope your "mechanic" has a firm grasp of what to expect. I did the work on mine myself, however, the lowest rate a shop was willing to charge was $1500.00.
