so im doing my 3.5 swap and i came across this


"You can keep the VQ35 oil pan and all the accessories will still bolt on. You can use the 3.0 oil pans and still retain the 3.5 oil cooler. The oil cooler bolts right on to the 3.0 oil pan. This way, you don't have to remove any material to have the 3.0 CPS sit at the right distance from the signal plate and you don't have to plug the coolant hole. If you use the 3.5 oil pans, you have to shave about 1/4 inch off where the CPS at trans goes, If not the sensor is too far away to read the flywheel. I would rather not remove the lower and upper 3.5 oil pans. That's more work than just shaving 1/4 of an inch off."

any one got a picture i would like to see the finished product.

 

I use my 3.0 pans....wish I could have helped

 

Why wouldn't you want to use 3.0 pans?

 

Just grab 3.0 pans from ecology this weekend.
