Thanks for the link. The VH was the first engine I considered...I just thought a V6 would be an easier fit.....

doing some more home work....It appears that the bellhousing is different on the vq40....Maybe I should be thinking about the vq35....

I got the hook up at a local import salvage yard. I'm gonna try to get over there in the next week or so....I'm going to snap some pics and take some measurements on the VQ engine. I'm not sure if they have the right tranny, but if they do I'll check it out too. At this point I'm not certain that I will try to pull this off or not. I'm not too excited about being a pioneer in this, but if everyhting looks good I MIGHT try to make it happen. I have a friend at work who has installed a few chevy small blocks into toyota p/u's and he told me that he could make the motor mounts for me. My main concern is the oil pan of the VQ.

If this is a repost, I apologize. I did a search that did not turn up much at all. I am interested in swaping a VQ motor into my 93 SE. I've read a little about it here and there, and pmed a guy that might have some info. Does anyone know if it will work? Here is what I have heard. A VQ40+an 01 or 02 R50 5 speed will bolt up to my transfer case. But will the VQ fit in the engine bay? what about the oil pan? is there room for it? Anybody with info on other engine swaps please post em up. I'm really open to suggestions, and interested to see what others have done.

Here is some pics of my toys. I live in a subdivision, but there are a bunch of trails through woods on the backside. Hopefully they won't develop that land. I don't do a whole lot off roading, but its nice to know that when I want to go it's only two blocks away! Pathfinder Here is my S2k. the S2000 Thanks for the warm welcome guys.

^^ I thought I remembered reading that, so I just waited it out. A little more about me. I'm 33, married for 10 years. We have two children, girl and a boy, 3 dogs and a cat. I work for NUCOR steel as a Pickle line operator. I'm a community organizer(regional moderator) on S2ki.com, and as you might have guessed own a S2000. But, I'm thinking of trading it in for a 350Z.

Hello, I've been lurking around for a while. Registered about a week ago and just now able to post.......what up wit dat? I was on wd21forums for a while but did not post much. I've owned a 93 pathfinder SE for about 4 years now. I'm getting ready to start some restoration on her and thought this site would be a great place to get answers to some of my problems. I would really like to do an engine swap! My truck only has 160k (not bad for 14 yrs old) still running strong, but it leaks oil from just about everywhere possible. I guess gaskets don't last forever.
