I tried the link this morning, but all I got was a blank, constantly refreshing website. Is there a different way to get there? If the Maxima engine to which you are referring is the 3.0 or 3.5L VQ series, I would be REALLY interested. I can't recommend a better engine. It freely revs to 7K like it's nothing, and will easily last to 250,000 miles with little other than regular oil and filter changes. You don't even have to change the timing belt-- it comes with a chain! I've driven a couple Maximas, and there's a reason most people view these cars only by their butt-ugly taillights. I think Kennedy had some adapter kits some time ago, for a 3.0 V6 and the 2.0 Sentra SE-R engine, amongst many adapter kits they once but no longer list. All I know is that I'm looking for something to replace my WB in need of replacement (one of the lifters went sideways into the case; fat chance selling the core). Please check out that link. I will be SO grateful.
