Have you got any further information on this?I've been considering the VG33 bottom-end swap, but I was under the impression the DOHC swap was not really doable.
If I could do both...my little VG30E's got at least 100k miles left in her...I'd appreciate any additional info you have on either.
Are there differences between the longitudinal and transverse VG? If so, will the VG33 crank still drop into my longitudinal VG30 (from a 93 Maxima).
A VG3?DE powered Max would rock, and be a lot cheaper than a VQ swap if this is really possible.
Finally, the VG33 and VG30 did not have the same bore, correct? Does anyone know what the displacement of a VG30 using a VG33 crankshaft is? Or does it still come out to 3.3?
