How many threads have you read about 370Z head or cam swaps? Ford and Chevy small blocks have been around in one form or another for 50 plus years.
Now, if you want to know IF the 370 can be made into a drag car, another old addage applies....the only substitute for cubic inches is cubic bucks. Check out the cost to make a supra generate 1000 hp.
Then there's cubic inches AND cubic bucks if you make the entire motor yourself....
932 cu in, 2140 hp for only $93k EXTREME PRO STOCK 932 CU. IN. 2140 HP RACING ENGINE - Sonny's Racing Engines - Sonny's Racing Engines
Yeah, that's why they made a ton of parts for the s2k. There were less s2ks sold in the us per year than z's....
