Anybody here have experience with dropping in a VK56 (Titan V8) in to a 2nd gen Frontier?
From what I've found it drops right in with all oem parts. But I can't find much info on the wiring/electrical aspect of it beyond "I just had Driven Desire do it". Seems to be about $350 and you have to send them the donor harness which doesn't seem like too terrible of a deal but it also only looks like maybe having to modify/extended the starter/alternator wiries and move some wires around at the IPDM?
Also the NATS (anti theft) seems like a headache. I've only found Uprev who wants $350 to defeat it (have to send them the ecu and which apparently you can't do yourself even if you buy their tuner?). Supposedly a dealer can reprogram NATS to make everything happy though but the closest Nissan dealers to me at about an hour out (would have to tow the truck there, won't start if NATS isn't happy)
Picked up this crew cab long bed with a blown v6 and trying to figure out if I want to do this swap or just find another v6.
