i have just now discovered that the pathfinder for a short time had the 5.6L v8 as an option....... I thought you could only get it with the v6 like the 4.0 at the time... A 5.6L v8 in a little pathfinder? why? I never even knew that.
Yeah its pretty awesome.
It debuted as the same time as the 2008 gas crises so nearly all V8s made are 2008s ordered in late 07 and early 08, and the dealers simply ordered very very few of them after the initial start.
But its
some V8 too:
32 valve DOHC
Closed Deck
Titanium valves
Factory Molybdenum steel sleeves
forged, not just the crankshaft, but pistons and rods too
6 bolt mains.
Everything microfinished.
Some of the rest of drive train upgraded to match the Titan/Armada.
Allmode 4x4, with 2WD, Auto, 4Hi and 4lo setting.
and a couple of things I am forgetting.
I flew and then drove halfway across the country, to buy one the exact color combo and configuration (all mode 4WD, Sunroof, Bose, Gunmetal on Charcoal leather) I wanted as V8 4x4.
Despite being in perfect tune (and chirping my wheels at will), its a guzzler.
Other than that its the perfect car.
I bought it for a song because it was a bit neglected (other than drivetrain which was well maintained,) but I put the money into it to get it perfectly sorted, except for some fairly minor cosmetic flaws.
GX470/460, who?
