Sounds like it will meet your needs. Pix when you do it.

I don't think there is a thread like that, though, and I certainly wouldn't be in it if there were.

Why can't people just say "cool good luck" if it costs him 50 grand that's his problem clearly he wants to be original. Nothing wrong with that at all.

Good luck, hope it works out for you. Can't wait to see it.

About 5 years ago i was looking at 350s and came across an AWD 350 z using infinity all wheel drive and man every one was saying ohh its a crap install there are going to be problems not to mension the costs but then i though that monster there will leave any skyline in the dust.....Damn i still want one lol.

P.S. Ops read the argument 2 late, seriously dude stfu and get a corvette.

Would love to see a Nissan V8 instead of another LSx build, but the fitting the Nissan is going to be tough.

If Toyota can do it for the Camry...why not Nissan and the Z?

Company funded Nascar V8 into a huge sedan, that is easy.
And I have seen that, it was a great job but honestly it was pure publicity (similar to the Juke-R by Nissan).

ok sad for the project/great for me, this has all been put on hold for a bit, might be moving and may need money now we'll see move might not work outin which case it's back on, or if i do move once i get settled i will start again, after selling all my stuff.

Which is why I critiqued it. I didn't think you were going to actually do anything about it based on your OP, your signature, and other posts in this thread.

When/if you actually do it...then you will get nothing but props from me

Until then, it's just mental masturbation up for debate.

I just read somewhere that Nismo developed a 3.4-liter VK-series V8 engine for LMP2 cars. Interesting.

if it were a small move i would just keep rolling but i don't want to truck a motor across the country with all my sh!t, and tow the car so i can't start till stuff is figured out. I was going to buy the motor the day the call came in.

GM experimented with DOHC designs and stuck with cam-in-block for a reason. These reasons have been detailed again and again and again, but suffice it to say when you have a 450# motor complete from manifold to oil-pan that will make over 500 horsepower and pass emissions, you have a winner. Now consider that it will produce over 500 horses at the TIRES with exhaust and a mild cam and a tune.

Actually GM didn't do anything other than hire Lotus to do all of the engineering and design for the LT5 if that is what you're talking about??

You ARE aware that every NASCAR motor is based on the LS2 block, right? Therefore an OHC V8 is not used.
And yes I know this thread is old and yes I know I'm new here, but I felt compelled to bump with this proper information.
