The more pertainant question is, why would you want to?

Been researching the different motors for swap compatibility for about 2 years now... Anyone else do anything with the 07+ motors? Curious to how much power they make at the wheels with typical boltons...

07+ Altima motors have the new plenum and should produce a better power band than the previous plenum setup

I have an 08 max motor I just dropped in but its deisgn is basically the same as an 04 motor...

but there is a sticky on the compatiable motors that can be used. Murano/Quest/Altima/Maxima motors can all be used.

I almost bought a wrecked 03 SE 6MT a year ago to do the conversion in a G20 but they wanted more than I thought it was worth. I just wanted the drivetrain change over and electrical bits. I have been thinking about getting a 07-08 motor if it is a much better starting platform for performance. Its just hard to find anything about it.
