before anyone says "ask sam" i have an inquiry in que, hes a busy man. so im going to ask here. mainly because i know their are members that have done this so know the answer..... If i were to buy a 4.2 or 4.5L short block. can i use the stock heads, cams, and intake. you can buy a stroker kit, with pistons, rods, and crank. and race cams from Z1. but i noticed no one sells damn "stage" cylinder heads for the VQ37...wtf? basically what i want to know is, if i buy the short block, what do i need. i will be doing the install myself but really have no "modern" engine experience, im used to building up 60s-70s motors lol. back in the old time days when they still used push rods and timing CHAINS. not all this new witchcraft..... :P I figured it would be a much cheaper alternative than payin 4k for the parts and then another 5k to have someone else put it in. my plan is to prep the car one part at a time for EVENTUALLY buying this kit, as i want it to make big power. so the stroker, lightweight pistons, race cams, hopefully heads if i can find them, M370 intake or anything better at the time, fuel system, engine managment, clutch, 4.08 gears, and a nismo GT pro rear end. i wont be able to afford the 30k it will cost to have a damn twin supercharger installed for quite some time :P not fortunate enough to have been born with a silver spoon in my mouth.
