2010 3.5 J35Z6 swap into a 2005 Tl

Want to keep the manual trans, but won’t line up. Would it even work if I get the 08 types Manuel trans? Middle of build, engine sitting in garage. Plz help

Welcome to the forums.

The following is posted at the top of the New Member Introductions forum: Welcome! Please introduce yourselves here, BUT ASK FOR HELP IN THE TECHNICAL FORUMS

Since this is a topic/technical issue which will require replies and discussion, and not an introduction, this thread has been moved to the model specific forum.

Not enough info.

Do you currently have a manual trans? Have you thought about swapping the bellhousing?

I'm not sure what you're asking, are you trying to convert your car to a manual transmission?

If you are wanting to use a 3.5 liter engine and bolt it to your automatic transmission, then pretty much your only option is a J35A6.

To bolt up the J35Z6 engine ou will need a new bellhousing for your manual transmission (Manuel is the guy who lives next door to me); that said, I suspect you will not be able to get your J35Z6 engine to operate above 3,500 RPMS, like I wrote before, if you want a J35 in your car, you should purchase a J35A6

Why wouldnt it rev past 3500rpm tho??? But easiest j35 swap would be the j35a6 for his case.

Agreed on the J35A6, regarding the J35Z6, my understanding the electronic controls for the VTEC are slightly different. Am I misinformed? Highly possible.

Just like any of the newer bigger port heads, (j37, newer j35s) you just need to swap over all the cam gears cam sensors, cam plate and lower timing sprocket. Certain ones you have to change over the crank sensor and wire harness with it. Whatever motor you choose, you try to make it work with the existing engine harness and ecu in the car. If you go manual, alot more is involved
