Cost of a vk56 swap

That's a valid question.

For me, the motivation would be aftermarket support and the ability to get stuff like belts, bearings, seals and other "consumables" easily from any parts store rather than it being an almost strictly "dealer parts counter" affair. There also seems to be an upgraded or 'Race' version of just about every component on the LSx, that isn't the case at all on the VK. Anything motorsport/power/durability oriented beyond basic bolt ons is almost entirely specialty one-off stuff.

As a DD car or a "midly modded" engine (meaning intake, exhaust, tune) to drop into the Z, it's a great choice and will no doubt last a long time.

For those of us doing this on a track or race car, it's all about priorities, so Weight, Reliability and ease of access to upgraded and replacement parts are what matters. Even if it's a "boring" choice from an originality standpoint.
