i found a thread with lots of info but there was no info on what auto trans i could use, only manuals. i was planning on trying to get a rwd version out of a cedric/gloria along with the auto trans, ecu, etc.

would the vq35 mount kits work or would i need to get custom mounts? i'm not into drifting or racing nor do i want to go turbo. i wanted to do the VQ35 but the standalone ecu and cost of the motors is much higher than the VQ30 using a factory ecu. please no flames for the auto trans, i have ankle problems and having to use the clutch is a major chore.

You might have to modify the mounts and/or your crossmember a little bit for it to mount up.

check out www.engineswaptech.com for more info. Several guys on there have done VQ30 or 35 swaps in their S-chassis. One guy in New Zealand started with a cedric engine I believe.
