Dbot Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 I have the opportunity to buy a 2001 with vq35 however the motor is bad with bad compression in two cylinders. The salvage yard has a 2004 SE auto with real low mileage because of a wreck. I want this engine for the ‘01 body if possible. I think the throttle is electronic on ‘03 and ‘04 whereas ‘01 and ‘02 have regular throttle cables if I’m not mistaken. (I plan on using the ‘01 intake with cables to prevent issues). That’s the only difference as far as I’m aware of. Salvage yard computer system says the ‘04 engine is NOT compatible with a ‘01 body. (I won’t get any warranty if I try it). Could I put the ‘04 SE auto 4x4 engine into a ‘01 SE auto 4x4 if I use the ‘01 intake and plenum on top of the engine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slartibartfast Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Looks like you may have to swap more than just the intake, but it is doable. Loctite the power valve screws while you've got it apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
