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.





I hate Nissans

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?

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:

Chevrolet V8 pattern

So named because it began with Chevrolet's V8 engines.



Chevrolet big-block V8's

Chevrolet small-block V8's

GM Vortec 4300 90° V6

GM Iron Duke RWD inline 4 (Early RWD Variants, later versions may use a FWD pattern, and have two possible starter locations)

Jeep 2.5L/151 in³ Jeep used the GM Iron Duke inline 4 1980-1983. These use a Chrysler Torqueflite 904 automatic transmission with a Chevrolet bellhousing.

Chevrolet Inline 6 (1963 on)

Chevrolet 153 Inline 4 (Chevy II, pre-Iron-Duke)



GM metric pattern

Also called the GM small corporate pattern

This pattern has a distinctive odd-sided hexagonal shape.



GM 60° V6 family FWD/RWD V6; 2.8/3.1/3.4 L

Buick FWD/RWD 90° 3800 V6

Cadillac 4.1/4.5/4.9 L V8

Isuzu 3.5L DOHC V6

1984-03 Jeep/AMC/Chrysler 2.5L/150 in³ I4 found in Jeep Cherokee, Wagoneer, Comanche, and Wrangler models (except Grand Wagoneer & Grand Cherokee) and 1996-2002 Dodge Dakotas.

Jeep/AMC 2.8L V6 (GM engine)

GM Iron Duke FWD inline 4

1984-93 GM Iron Duke/Tech-4 RWD inline 4
