JustinW Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 The VQ35 engines are DOHC and the VG33 are SOHC and unlike 305 and 350 Chevys they are completely different blocks, I don't think anything will interchange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thorpe991 Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 My vg33 is dohc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferrariowner123 Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Yeah, I just hate being such a nay sayer, but then again I don't want anyone to go and try something based on what i said. I hope I can add more to this when I finally get all the parts together for my conversion. -Kyle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thorpe991 Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Ok that makes sense i always thought the dohc ment two cams in the motor and a chevy engine is single non overhead cam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferrariowner123 Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 What's the technical term for that? I feel like guys call it a roller cam, or a lifter cam.. Idk. And I didn't know the VQ was DOHC, I guess that's why is the VQ35DE not just E like ours... -Kyle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinW Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Yep. Small block Chevy engines are Over Head Valve (OHV), cam-in-block. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kdj Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 DOHC is two cams per head for a total of four cams on a VQ35DE. SOHC is one can per head for a total of two cams on a VG33E. Uhm...the VQ35 is DUEL overhead cams (DOHC). Two cams, but it is four valves per cyl. for a total of 24 valves. I don't think anything is interchangable with the VG33 that is SINGLE overhead cam (SOHC)...one cam and 2 valves per cyl. As for small block Chevys almost everything is interchangable. I've got mid 70's 307 with heads, intake, carb etc. from a late 60's 350 on it and any of it will interchange with the 1980 350 from my 3/4 ton truck that I have in my '74 Nova etc. etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thorpe991 Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Thats what i thought dang it haha is it just a different connector or different reading style cause if its a different connector but same wires i would swap it on my gmc cut and spliced a whole fuse box with no issues because the po fried a few spots where he used wire instead of a fuse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDN_S4 Posted August 17, 2014 Author Share Posted August 17, 2014 Have you considered swapping out the LED back lights with different colours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferrariowner123 Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 I've been curious to see if it would be just as simple as depinning the old and the new. I've got a side project to put a Nissan nx1600 digital dash in my pathy, so I may get bored and tackle it some day. -Kyle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thorpe991 Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 How excactly do you depin the blocks with out runing the pins iv tried it but cant ever get them to lock back in to the new block Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdj Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 (edited) I bought a tool for this years ago the has several little "arms" that extend from it, you just pick the one that fits over the pin you want to remove-big round, small round, big straight or small, square etc. and it pushes in the small tab that retains it in the connector and the wire just pulls out from the rear of the plug. To reinstall it you just bend the tab back out and it will lock back into the new connector. I think I got it fron CTC for about $10. It's come in very handy over the years.
