Cost of a vk56 swap

IDZRVIT · 04-22-2013, 06:41 PM

There is a good reason why LS swaps are so popular. Now go figure it out. But if someone has the money who really loves the Z and is a die hard, then go ahead and do the VK56 swap. But you still wont be as fast as an LS implant equipped with the right parts.

to 1slow370, good luck and and all the best on your build. On the lookout for another Z, this time a 350. And yes, i plan to put an LS V8 in it. By the way, anybody have a house with a 5 car garage for sale? LOL

i get it, they are light, make power, blah blah blah... but the problem is, they are EVERYWHERE. its the cheap out nowadays. total complete lack of originality. it doesn't make a car better. if i see a miata with a turbo ls, guess what? I still don't want it. LS's don't make a car better, they jsut say, "i somewhat regret my buying decision and wish i woulda gone v8".

This is a philosophical debate.

"My car is an extension of myself" vs "My car is a tool I use for something"

There can be no consensus on who is in the right and who isn't.

Myself, I want what works the best for the least amount of money... Which means I'll be going with the "cheap out" which does make the car better, for me. Because the point is to be fast, not to be unique or original.
