Altima 3.5 in a 5.5

Well I have found an 02 altima engine here local to swap into my 5.5 gen. My question is are there any differences? Such as motor mounts, wiring harness, or any other problem I need to know?

Use your original maxima motor mounts, original, wiring harness, and original headers, etc. Basically the only thing your gonna use from the altima is the block, heads, and intake manifolds.
