[Vg33 Swap In ’94 Pathy]

The link should be back up. Sorry 'bout that...

 

As for the cam swap, I still have the old VG30 lying around and would love to do that. Maybe someday when I have some more free time and money!

 

I'm still having issues trying to open your link

[Vg33 Swap In ’94 Pathy]

well the 94 had the better casting process that the earlier models did not so your only differances will be exhuast studs (8vs10) and coolant passages...

its easy enough to upsize the studs (if you choose) with the heads off so that leaves the task of coolant passages;

1. lay the 3.0 head upsidedown and position a 3.3 gasket on it.
2. pencil the outline of the passages that don't line up (they are very close)
3. using a dremel cut to your outline connecting it to you existing passage
4. clean up the edges with a debur wheel but avoid rounding your outlines, cut a hair smaller if you need to in order to protect your outlines
5. GOOGLE, I can't remember the site but there are pictures of this being done for a VG swap.

 

 

If you look under part 10 of this build you can see the differences and what you need to mod to fit the VG30 heads on the VG33. http://www.motoiq.com/projects/project_nissan_pathfinder.aspx
