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.

Yoshi's VK56DE 240SX Build - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum here's a guy putting one in a 240 with a 370z tranny and adapter plate .If you read the thread another member says that there is a 370z in his area with this very swap . so looks like others are doing it . Really cool ,could be long term power here's a 280 swap http://www.titantalk.com/forums/tita...ld-thread.html and someone just starting another 240 http://www.titantalk.com/forums/tita...240sx-s14.html

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.

I am just saying if you are going to bring an old thread up, you might want to check your facts. There are similarities between the LS and R07, but it isn't like you can swap parts back and forth between the two. Think VQ vs VK.

NASCAR uses OHV because that is a RULE in their series. Toyota doesn't have any OHV motors, they had to build one from the ground up in order to compete. Heck, they just got EFI recently. It's one of the reason why BMW and Nissan chose not to compete in NASCAR even though there is a huge marketing opportunity available.

1slow370 · 08-24-2012, 02:12 AM

Hey come on its not dead im still looking for a motor. Anybody find one for 1000 cash shipped let me know.

Edit: or a 1000 card shipped looking to buy cheap and build.

CSA0890 · 08-30-2012, 08:17 PM

I was quoted 1500 at a local salvage yard a few months ago including all accessories and the harness and ecu.

1slow370 · 08-31-2012, 02:20 AM

so 2000 shipped up here thats my problem trying to find one locally for cheap that i can just go pick up hell id take it out if i had to. I want to do it super cheap so i can show it can be done. I have access to CNC machines and can make whatever parts I feel like such as flanges and billet swap engine mounts, and can handle the rewiring by myself so i save most of it there, but every penny counts. by building my own ms3x ecu i'm only spending about 600 for the fuel and ignition components and all this leaves money on the table for pistons,rods,studs,gaskets, and maybe a turbo or two.

1slow370 · 09-26-2012, 04:35 AM

fixed a PS3 for a salesman at the local yard and hes hooking me up with an $800 discount on a motor now that's how i do things. 06 vk 60,000 miles compression and oil pressure tested pics when i pick it up in a few weeks.

1slow370 · 09-27-2012, 02:41 AM

it somethin like 45lbs more than the v6 in factory trim. wider at the heads than an ls and a bit taller the intake manifold is a lot taller but not more than the truck ls.

1slow370 · 10-09-2012, 01:54 PM

progress made

Jordo! · 10-09-2012, 02:04 PM

Holy sh!t! So this project is on? Awesome!

1slow370 · 10-15-2012, 09:49 PM

Yeah giving my self a year and a half for the whole project. budget has 4300 remaining after motor. Plan is itb's, megasquirt, adapter plate and flywheel, coated piston tops, thicker mls headgasket, motor refresh, and a single turbo setup, engine mounts and accesory brakeckets too. lots of stuff to do.
