Sounds cool. I'm doing a LS1/700R4 swap into my '02 Jeep TJ right now.

It's a bit different than a Xterra, but going to involve some fab work just like mine is. You can check out what's been done to mine so far here;

Not sur eif I can help directly with his swap, but I know plenty of people who can.

for what it's worth, I'm pretty sure you can buy an Xterra with the 5.6 in it from the factory..... but, then again, that takes the fun out of it eh?
