Guest REDROVER76 Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Ok I am new, I have owned a 95 pathfinder before, and it was a fun truck. I cam across a 91 pathfinder with a bad engine in it for $350.00 Not bad, but an engine is 600.00! Ok now I got a question, will a datsun 4cly engine (Z) NOT A 280z engine!! Fit on this transmission? It is a 91 2wd V6 5-speed! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94extreme Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 best bet would be to find out what tranny is normally attached to this "Z" motor.. if the numbers match then it may be just a bell housing swap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest REDROVER76 Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Would the numbers be stamped on it anywhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94extreme Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 yeah, somewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88pathoffroad Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 The answer is "no". The NAPS-Z engine will not bolt to the V6 transmission. None of the 4-cylinders will. Why on God's green earth would you want a 80 HP engine to move a 4200 lb Pathfinder? Ew... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Pickles Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 If you're already gonna put in a different motor on the cheap, why not a 350, for all the work either motor would probably take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

88pathoffroad Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 I wasn't yelling. Did you think I was? Go weigh your Pathfinder at a truck scale sometime, you'd be surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeV Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 WOW!! Chill out dude!!! I just have one sitting around the house, and it its not 4200lbs!! It is not even 4x4!! But thanks for the info!! Z's should have never been called Z's when they had a 4 cyl. Engine. I would have yelled at you for asking a question. Paperweight or go-cart your choice. Would have said it a different way but kids may be listening. Also 88 knows his "$%!t" better than most o the Pathy.

Precise1 Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 I'm guessing that you mean the Z24 motor ? A great motor, but very underpowered (106hp stock). It could barely pull my D720 4x4 around, but never failed once in 10 years. Yes, I believe sw recently put a 3.0 tranny on a Z2.4 and he just had to swap out the bell housing. He claimed it wasn't too hard. I think the thread is in the Garage section, let me look. B Oops, Wrong all the way around... It was a Z24 tranny on a 2.7TD so it seems like the 4cyl and 6cyl units won't mate.
