Man its a very good deal. Ebay sells them around 3k. Plus in that light chasis you're gonna have a blast with that torque. People have already done this and with turbo kits, custom of course. Even a girl has one stroked and supercharged for drifting. It was in super street mag I think. There are shops that already have custom mounting in package deals for sale look into vq35 swaps in google. Have fun.

You'd better look into the electronics first. What trans are you going to use? How are you controlling the fuel pump, etc.

VQ35 for $500 in good shape?Ha no brainer. Buy it and even if you don't use it sell for $1,500 and call it a day.

But seriously if you want a VQ powered S chassis vehicle then do some research because because the wiring is a pain and the swap can be way easier if you use certain VQ35 motor set.

Its a tricky swap but its super worth it.

Best of luck Matt

Yea, Theres a VQ 35 min from my house in a junk yard from a 2006 G35. I would rather save my money and put a 2003 maxima engine in for $600. But if i could get a Z/G35 engine for $500, that would also be worth it.
