Thanks for the tip. They appear to have one G37 engine in inventory. It is a core (was exchanged for another) that they prob bought for $150 and are now selling for $1,700. They claim it does not work.

Weird, I see no LSX motors on that list, Travis.......

travisjb · 02-24-2012, 09:39 PM

I like this motor! just don't like replacing it

So, dumb question...why not go w/ a 3.5L, stroke it out, and have a much simpler head design that is probably easier to work with in the end?

One more of these and yup, that's what I'll do

Kingbaby · 02-24-2012, 09:55 PM

hope it all works out man...

travisjb · 02-24-2012, 11:21 PM

Unrelated / FYI... over on my Tundra forum, found this thread covering a 5.7L TRD Supercharged engine conversion for a SC430 drift car... apparently the World Racing 2,200 hp car is based upon a Tundra 5.7 as well... enjoy TRD Supercharged Tundra 5.7 Lexus SC430 - TundraTalk.net - Toyota Tundra Discussion Forum

That's a project from the Drift Emporium guys here in GA. Good bunch of guys. The two G35's in the shop are VK56 Supercharged and the Bass Boat S15 is also a N/A VK56. They come out to ZDayZ, did a Drift Expo at the 2010 ZCON event at Nashville Superspeedway and have had their cars here at Z Nationals a few times.

Travis you need to go the Chris Foresburg route. VK56 Supercharged into the Z.

theDreamer · 02-25-2012, 12:50 PM

I agree with the VK56 mod, though I am sure you do not have to SC it yet.

ValidusVentus · 02-25-2012, 03:07 PM

Hey Travis have you seen Love the Beast? or Senna? Both great movie/documentaries about racing/motorsports (you can find them both on netflix), you'd definitely connect with Love the Beast. Highly recommended.

Keep up the push with the car man, got a lot of fans here you cant disappoint after all

Edit: I made it about halfway though Love the Beast before I had pause it and go drive my car lol, finished it up later.

ValidusVentus · 02-25-2012, 04:27 PM

Your situation does give you a great excuse to drop in w/e you can find that will fit.

travisjb · 02-25-2012, 11:27 PM

Love the Beat - haven't seen it but will check it out when I can, thx for tip!

I think most of you know that an engine swap involves a lot of work besides just dropping in the motor! (:

ValidusVentus · 02-26-2012, 01:06 AM

Very true, very true. Just food for thought and all.

Unless of course, it's a small block Chevy going into a Miata, or RB25 into a 240. Lol
