The VQ engine is fairly small, but I don't think the frame is wide enough where the tranny mounts up to the motor for the VQ. I think the VQ is shorter than the F20c, but wider...
The VQ is a sweet motor, though the design isn't as nice as the F20C. I think there will be alot of monster VQ's out and about very shortly. The VQ costs less than an F20C also.

Hah, I already swapped the VQ35DE into my car! I was going to surprise everyone tomorrow when I took pics (just got it done last week). It's not really that hard when you have an experienced welder to fab up some interesting motor bracing/mounts. The frame is BARELY wide enough. The shifter sits a little weird, but it's been fun. Lovin that throaty exhaust!
Nissans are just better than Hondas when it comes to motors. I mean, they can use it in the Nissan Quest and all those platforms....just amazing.
Also, fresh F20C1 + tranny for sale in FL! Took me 3,000 miles to get tired of that anemic thing.
