Engine swap discussion

Hey all!

 

I have a 2000 R50 with a 3.3. I am at about 320,000km, running okay for the most part.

 

I am trying to figure out and decide at what point do I stop putting money into repairs and save up money to buy a rebuilt engine for when the time comes.

 

The question(s) is, would I stick with the 3.3, go find a 3.5, would a supercharged vg33ER from a Nissan pickup fit in a R50’sengine compartment? What other engine options and ideas are out there?

 

I’m hoping to create a discussion here, find out what thoughts you have all had on the engine swap topic.

 

Cheers!

From what I have read, the bellhousings for the 3.3 and 3.5 are different. So you need to swap trannies too.

Good to know. There have been a few Pathfinders with 3.5L engines at the wreckers around me. I’ll factor that into my cost calculations.

 

Anyone else ever done this swap before?
