Will a gtr motor swap into the 370?

other than just the "i did it" factor i dont see how this would make any logical or performance sence, a z with any bolt on or even sc kit makes about the same whp as a gtr(low 4's) and that will be pretty reliable if installed and tuned properly. That can be done for under 11k now if someone wanted more you can do like a stage 2 kit with a built shortblock for around 17k or so and that will get you a car with 600-650whp witch again should be safe especially with an ebc. Anything past that i dont know how 100% reliable it can be. Now to get a gtr motor alone gotta cost in the 10k area if not more and thats before you turn 1 nut or bolt to do the swap, assuming it just bolts in with no tranny issues this would easily cost over 20k, but hold on your car still only makes low 4's you still gotta mod that engine to extract power from it!! a 650whp gtr needs around 15-20k to get it there. Now to reverse engineer the tranny issue $$$$$$$$. So with all that being said other that "i did it" why??
