Swap Engine from 2010 3.5 to 2002 3.5

Any issues with this? Should I do the transmission, motor, computer? Will it direct fit?

Found a wrecked in the rear. Front clip for $3500.00

My 02 3.5 has 140K and has some issues. Such as consumption and multiple leaks that have been fixed but.......

Man i can tell altimas arent on the hot list for blogging!

No this wont fit. The bell housings are different and it is not a direct bolt up to the 02 FB transmission. In my opinion you might be better off finding a maxima VQ with a 5 or 6 spd LSD. would be cheaper also.

THanks for the response.

Yeah I lost the wrecked car. Looking at some other options. My car is absolutely perfect. Interior body just the oil consumption, vibration, leaks and now its really knocking when you start up in the morning. The main bearings have to be shot.

Might be cheaper just to rebuild the motor...

Well its the main bearings going and going quick. Because of multiple oil leaks. Valve covers, Oil filter adapter the car was run low on oil multiple times. Amazed that it made it to 147,000 miles. Looking for a donor motor transmission. Will keep updated as it goes.
