Q: I have a 97 xe Nissan truck that has a 2.4 engine. What other engines are compatible with this truck. I have heard of someone using American engines in this truck . Can this be true? Is there a 6cyl that will work in this truck?
A: You can replace the 2.4L KA24E with the 3.0L V6 VG30E engine. Nissan never offered a V6 in their trucks after 1995 but they should still fit right in. You can probably put a small block engine in it since the engine compartment is large enough to accommodate it.one
