> [@fairgentleman Z](#): > > Well if it is all about “poning up” w/ 6 cylinders then why not get an F54 block, diesel Maxima crank, and build a 3.1l monster? for me it depends on three things: 1- cost: my main case for saying that u should go rb over sr with that car, is that its gonna cost around the same 2- difficulty: ive never tore a motor down to internals, im sure its not THAT hard, but i would have to learn that as i go. 3- parts: i wouldnt know how to go about finding parts for it so to awnser ur question “why not?”, it depends on those things above. but i can tell ur just being a dick. why not vg30dett? why not vq35? why not chevy v8 swap? my point is rb\>sr ---

Well of course, 240s are the best, cheap to tune, easy to find. Oh and for the 280z if you are going to do a swap, the only swap worth putting in it is a nice chevy 350 and run about a 12 second 1/4. ---
