2000 xterra v6 motor swap into 97 pathfinder

[fishndad]

will a 2000 xterra motor fit in a 97 pathfinder. Are the intake, starter, alternator, power sterring pump, and a/c compressor from the 97 bolt on the 2000 xterra motor. I have heard that the oil pump is different between the two. Has anyone put a newer motor in before. Thanks GUYS

I put a 2001 xterra motor into my 96 pathy, you have to swap over all the accessories, the oil pump is the same but the oil pan is just slighty different, but it will work on yours.
