Sick of all this SR talk, just trying to think outside the box - 32 valve, 4.5L V8 278 HP, 292 lbs/tq all aluminum motor too bad it only comes in auto, but after ripping a Q45 all weekend, I must say, the motor is impressive in such a heavy ride. Wonder how it would perform in a 240sx chassis… your thoughts?? p.s. - I am talking about a '94+ motor, too many problems with pre '94 motors and trannies. ---
