Picking up a used VQ40DE this week that’s getting pulled from a 190k mile ‘08 Pathfinder, my plans with it are to do a rebuild and replace my current engine with it once it’s done.

Things I’d like out of the engine are:

-Longevity! My current engine is at 262k still has life left in it, looking to match or exceed that kind of lifespan.

-Improved acceleration. Was thinking about an intake manifold spacer and cold air intake to accomplish this, is this reasonable or is there something else I should consider?

Also, should I replace the crank and cams entirely or is a simple service at the shop good enough as long as they’re not badly damaged?

Any advice on the rebuild process from start to finish would be much appreciated!
