Ok so i have been toying with the idea recently of doing the VQ35DE swap into my 76. I've been doing some research, using the search function and reading everything i can find on Google but now i have a few questions. First off let me say i am getting a 2004 vq35de for free or rather i possibly will be. Anyways it comes out of a 2004 Maxima that is originally auto.

My questions are as followed.

1)Will a 6 speed out of a 350z bolt up to this?
2)Will a manual harness work with this engine as it was originally in a automatic car?

Thanks for the help
