I was reading that the VG30E V6 motor used in the late 90's Nissan Quest/Mercury Villager minivans was converted to be a non-interference design. What exactly was changed to achieve this in comparison to the VG30E used in the 90's Nissan hardbody pickups/pathfinders?
I've got a 1991 Nissan Hardbody in really nice shape with this motor and was wondering if converting it to a non-interference motor like the minivans would be as simple as a cam swap? Or are the heads completely different?
Any info appreciated. I wouldn't mind losing a few HP to ensure that I'd never have to worry about a snapped timing belt ever again.
