This LOJ Conversions Basic Swap Kit for the N50 Nissan Xterra and D40 Nissan Frontier allows you to install and Gen 3 or Gen 4 Chevrolet LS Engine into your truck using a T56 6-Speed Manual Transmission.
This kit has been engineered specifically to relocate the stock manual transmission to the rear 2" (50mm) to allow the engine to sit further back. This improves clearance for radiator and accessories and also helps weight distribution in sport truck applications. 2WD Kits also include our Road-Race Oil Pan with 11 quarts of capacity and advanced multi-stage trap door baffling. 2WD Kits also include new driveshafts, since relocating the engine and transmission requires the driveline to be shortened. These features make these kits more pricy than the 4WD Kits.
This basic kit uses a Tremec T56 Transmission
