I desperately need to order some plug wires for my car but I don't know from what car I need to request them for because of the motor swap. It's an old car that has a SR20DE block but has a VE head swapped into it that never came with that motor from the factory. I read that the lowport DE wires with fit the VE head or I can just get some VE wires. I tried explaining that to the parts guy at Nissan but he didn't know what would work.

So, can anyone please tell me what car I need to tell them I need some OEM plug wires from so I can get the car back on the road? Any car that came with a VE or a lowport DE from the factory will work. I've searched and searched but seems like everyone has swapped the motors into something else so I haven't been able to find a definitive answer :(

Any help is MUCH appreciated!

I'm guessing you have a Sentra? The site forum list is on the right down a little bit.

You also need to put what year/model you drive in your profile so we don't have to guess next time...

Sorry, it's a 71' 510 with a SR20DE block and VE head. This is why I am having a hard time figuring out what car I need to order from since nissan parts can't help me by just telling them the motor. I contacted Greg V at GSpec and he is helping me out since I found some plug wires for a VVL on his site. Thanks for the reply.

Oy, VE head swaps are pretty complicated.

If you're finding the lowport DE sparkplug wires work, then I guess you could try that out.

I'm assuming you're talking about the car and not the wires? Here's a few of the car, if you were talking about the wires let me know and I'll post those up.

This has been resolved, they are custom made with VE plug caps. Thanks :)
