Scrap??

What did you keep from it, the engine, trans and harness/computer?
Any benefit with that engine (vq30de), I'm guessing not swap worthy.

I didn't keep anything.  The problem with the VQ30 is that the air intake points toward the back of the motor.  It would hit the firewall in a RWD orientation.

There's no other stock intake that I know of.  I guess I could have made a custom intake. Cheesy

I think a lot of sand rails use the vq30.  Yeah, I toss away a lot of things I should have kept.  Roll Eyes
