Nice, where is your shop? Can you post a pic or two? Are you guys doing anything for suspension and brakes?

V8’s (as pimpin as they are) you’re hacking the hell out of the car apparently plus I this all that weight in the front versus the tiny tin can car would take a lot of the fun out of it. The only thing I’ve really considered besides the SR is a VQ35. Its quite a tight fit but its possible. One fella has done it but not too neatly and another I know is working on it. I just don’t want to be hacking the car too much. Clearancing for a rad is one thing but taking a saw to the firewall is another.
