isn't the nissan 4.0 derived from the 3.5 ?

eh, whatever.... my 4.0 is fine.

and the LS1 in barney is ok too

yes the VQ40DE is part of the VQ engine series. I believe the M35h's engine uses the VQ35HR coupled with an electric motor. The VQ has missed the list the last few years, but was on it every year since 1995 through 2008 or 09, glad to see it back.
