Has anyone heard from Brennan? Is he still doing vk56 swaps? I haven't seen anything new in a couple months now
Got the motor shoehorned in what do you think Driven Desire?
Hardbody vk56de swap
Good day! I saw a good deal on a frontier today, I was thinking about it. Problem is, I can't find any titans around me, but I see several Armadas. Can I use these for the Swap? TIA!!
for better mileage, has anyone put a Frontier v6 into a Titan?
2011 titan 5.6vk engine mount bracket work in a 2011 frontier? What do you recommend for a trans rebuild kit? Don't want to have to reprogram/tune tcm. Looking better clutches and seals. What cats will work in a frontier?
Thanks
