Seriously. Almost every aftermarket mod to any car is done at a loss.

Well, not all mods, just ask Mustang. :stirthepot:

He is saying an LS swap is the most common engine used when people do engine swaps. There are reasons for it, great power, smallish engine, and bolts into almost any car, but what he is trying to say is be unique instead of just going with the standard LS motor. Go grab a nissan V8, which so far I have only seen one Z ever do (a 350z) and it was a 'meh' build.

let's see, how do i put this? .... no

there's a g35 with a vk56 titan motor:

looks pretty cool. i haven't found any video of that car going in a straight line though. seems to be strictly a drift car.

No it's usually a middle aged douche-bag :) - there was a recent incident up in NH where a Corvette driver ended up totaling his car and injured his passenger after showing off on a cool morning. But overall I would agree with you, percentage wise the younger folk are more likely to exceed their ability - I know I did a couple of times when I was young.

forget the turbo engine, just put the ZR1 engine in the 370Z and you got the best of both, big V8 power and a SC.

:facepalm:

Not how many 370Zs, how many cars period. Theres not another engine in the last 10 years thats been swapped into various cars from various makes more often then the LSx engines. Its been done literally THOUSANDS of times.

You don't think the VH45DE and VK56DE have been used in factory race applications? Maybe you should do some research on both of these motors before knocking them, they have MUCH more potential then I think you realize. In fact, boosted, they probably have more potential. But I won't get into that, you obviously havnt done your research and will probably never even attempt pulling out your VQ37.

:shakes head:




For the price of an LSx swap you could have a 1000HP turbocharged VQ37, and that is a lot cooler then any LSx swap would be.

:iagree: Thank you!

thats tooo easy!

Im not going for an LSX I want an LS3....And to get to 1,000 whp with a VQ37 takes a lot of money In building the motor not any ordinary set up can get our cars to make that kind of power. I love my car But I love LS motors And i wanna run my Car to the ground an Swap an LS and If you think Im wrong by doing so Go ahead and Do whatever the hell you wanna do with your own car and don't knock on my plans. The nissan V8's are nice But I just feel That GM knows What there doing when it comes to the LS series motors end of story...I started this thread to help me see what kind of process I would have to go threw to do this swap Not to Debate what V8 or What motor Would be better to Swap. If you don't have anything productive to say please find another thread to Debate about Pointless things.

An LS swap into a Z is a sick idea, my only concern would be making the car more nose heavy that it already is.

Interesting about making the car heavier.

I was just about to ask how would weight distribution be effected by something like this
