A new VQ37VHR is $6000 from Courtesy Nissan (Complete). A short block is $3600.

I dont think I would bother putting a new stock one in if I blew the engine, but I also would not build an engine until attempting to exceed the power the stock is capable of.

GT-R engine swap is out of the question as far as realistically... its much too expensive, nothing bolts up including the transmission, its a lot taller and might not even clear the hood... definitely not the coveted strut tower bar, LOL. The GT-R engine tends to have rods fail before 700awhp anyway, making it almost pointless unless doing a full build on it before shoe-horning it in.
