Does anyone know if an '05 VQ40 will swap directly into an '02 QX4 with a VQ35?
Presumably the engine management components and ECU would have to be swapped as well but is the mechanical fit identical?

Re: VQ35/VQ40 swap
I was thinking about trying swapping the vh45 block to fit in my vq35de and make my turbo path a 4.5L
will it be a good idea or is it not worth it?

4.5 v8, vs 3.5 v6 both with turbos, yeah the v8 is going to rip alot more.

Re: VQ35/VQ40 swap
Im thinking about swapping just the block. would the vq40 or vh45 be a better choice. Or which would be better for my application (turbo)?
