Hello From Bc, Canada

[heythurr]

Hello Everyone.

 

New to NPORA, 2 Year Pathfinder Owner. Picked up a 94 Pathfinder XE 5 spd. couple years ago with a couple little mods - 2" body lift, Doug Thorley Headers, Magnaflow Exhaust, 31 All-Terrains. Standing strong at 305,000kms, I've started to think about giving it a little facelift. I was thinking 5.0L Ford or 350 Chev motor swap with a front & rear leaf SAS. This is just a thought, does anyone have any better ideas?

 

When I First Got It..

 

It was dark when we arrived at our campsite.. We woke up to this..

hey welcome to NPORA, looks like you'll be right at home here. Where abouts in BC are you from??

I am VERY jealous of your lack of rust >_>

 

As for engine swap options, upgrading to a VG33E block out of the '96-2000 pathy's would be easiest, although I have seen a couple pathy's with chevy 350's (I forget where the links are to them... I JUST SAW THEM YESTERDAY XD). I'm more partial to the chevy blocks myself when it comes to V8 power (cram a 572 in there! ) I do remember seeing some kits to swap in chevy 4.3L V6s on the Automotive Customizers site.

 

My buddy with a '96 Chevy 1500 short box is putting out 500hp with his V6

Welcome to the Forums.

 

We're starting to gather quite the Canadian Army of Pathfinder Owners on this board. Theres a lot of talk about swapping a Domestic engine into our rigs, but in my opinion, the money can be better spent elsewhere. Lots of little things that can be done to protect the rig from a lot of damage and with proper gearing you don't need crazy hp. Unless you like speeding tickets, then by all means. Theres even atlas transfer case adapters and people who double up so low end torque isn't so much a problem.

 

As for SAS, depends on if you want to run full width axles or keep it within reasonable limits to whats in there right now. Theres been PLENTY of SAS's done on these and this board has several members. Lots to learn here to save you a lot of headache to see what works so you don't have to re-invent the wheel.

Howdy and welcome!! Looks like you have already met some of the usual suspects and haven't run off screaming, so by all means, make yourself at home...
