1. yes you can do it
2. no, i don't know anyone who has done this
3. buy something with a 350 in it all ready and be done

You can swap anything into anything. Unless you have mad fab skills, a time frame and a budget to match, forget it and leave it to someone wiser.

I wish I had a dime or a whore who swallowed for everytime someone posted something like this. I would either be rich or have nuts like raisins.

its gonna take the 350 harness and ecu. custom mounts... and probably a few other things to make it fit in the engine bay. it'll probably be easier to get a custom driveshaft instead of trying to get the engine to mate with the tranny. so you'll need the 350 tranny too.

i still don't get what the big deal is with swaping in V8s. A twin turbo v6 is about as big of an engine as I'll go. I've never been impressed with the effiency (or lack there of) of v8s. even if they were boosted....

Just listen to this Video - Tampa Bay's first 450sx. VH45DE swapped 240sx by Ellis AutoworkZ out for its first drift test.
