Default nissan 3.5 liter

Hello,
Has anyone looked at this engine for use on a plane? It looks to me like it
might have possibilities. It's used in a bunch of different vehicles with
different outputs from 240hp all the way up to 287hp due to different
exhausts, intakes and computers (I think). Anyway the stats as are
advertised for the '04 Maxima are 265 hp @ 5,800 rpm, 255 lb-ft of torque @
4,400 rpm. It's all aluminum, but I haven't been able to find an accurate
weight yet. The best I've been able to find is this site:
http://www.241computers.com/ford/Con...s20-30-38.html which lists
the weight of the 3.0 liter at 264 lb. Supposedly the 3.5 is a bored and
stroked out version of the 3.0 but I don't know that for sure.

Didn't Rutan run a pair of Nissan V-6's in the Pond Raycer a few years ago?

Some of the older 3.0's they put in trucks (80's-1998) made peak torque under
3,000rpm.

I believe I have the 3.5 in my Maxima. It is a gutsy little cuss but it take
a second or two to load up for passing. A lot of RPMs but no go. FWIW, 35
mpg on the road. A lot of engine for my car.
