From what Ive seen on other successful installs into 350Z's, its not as much of a hack as you think. But, on the other hand, I havent exactly seen the full install so for all I know, some drastic changes are happening.

All I know is, down the road, I think I'd consider throwing an LSX into my car.

Well, mostly what I mean is it's not for a daily driver IMHO. Aside from all the mechanical hackery around fitting an appropriate drivetrain layout into the car, you'd have to toss Nissan's ECU for a GM one, so there goes pretty much all of the Nissan's electronics, which everything in the car is tightly integrated with. That means all the little creature comforts will need some custom wiring or hacking or whatever too just to get them working again: electronic door locks, power windows, interior and exterior lighting, etc... don't even ask me what happens with the gauge cluster and the info display, but I'd assume there's no sane way to get the stock ones working with an LSx ECU.
