did i mention i HATE nissans?
My first car was a 10 year old Nissan sentra. Clean, very well maintained. What a piece of crap. Nissan seemed to use(and still does even in their newer Sentras) rubber bands for engine mounts, oh and also use a rod shift linkage. Neat. So when the engine and trans were dancing under hood you judt might be able to find some gears. I absolutely hate Nissans. I swore Nissans and FWD cars off after that. I tried out some Toyota's and Hondas and they seem to be a little better built.

Not only that, but I know now (since before buying the SA I was looking at a 240) that Nissan is the most retarded assed company ever. You may have an SR20DET swapped into your 240, and someone else might have a Sentra with a SR20DET but they are completely different engines. They won't even bolt up to the trans, and there s no way to make them fit. You have to have a FWD or RWD engine, even if it's the same engine designation. What kind of ******* retardedness is that?

That's what you get for buying a Nissan

Actually, I think the same situation applies to GM's 3.8 liter V6. It came in both FWD and RWD applications, and they're different.
I'm pretty sure you are wrong, but maybe that did apply for the Camaro one if anything? But if you buy a V6 Camaro you don't deserve to live anyway. My brother's g/f has a V6 auto Camaro, which admittedly was an upgrade from her beat-up stick 4-cyl Beretta. Still garbage though. I'm gonna go research this and report back.
You are semi-correct. It seems they just up and switched, but engines from the same years were still compatible. From Wiki:
