Yup, you're totally right. Got my head up my ***, sorry I tried to help the guy understand that engine swaps are complex, costly, time consuming, and there may be better options for him.

Sorry if I'm being a dck man. I think we are arguing the same point. I agree that engine swap are usually not worth the effort, at least when they don't "bolt in".

Even if it did motor mount wise (which i doubt it will), there is no tranny connected directly to that motor. Something tells me the 370z gears ratios (and the tranny and rear end) itsn't cut out for the GTR motor. This all sounds cool in theory, but in practice, I think it would be more work that you are bargaining for. The GTR needs all the gizmos it has to make it great, Z's don't have that.
