Where the hell are you finding a full vq35de (or hr) swap for $3k? I was thinking about swapping a vq35 into my 240z before I saw the going price. Last I saw JUST the longblock was going for around $3k.

Edit: Oh, and a stock vq35de can handle 375-400whp stock, wouldn’t built it unless you’re shooting for more.

There isn’t, I’m just hoping he knows where to get an HR for $3k, lol. VQ35HR + 240z = great fun.

I would buy a car that already has a LS1 in it and use the extra money to mod the shit out of it.

or buy a cheap 280z, and put a head/cammed LS1 in it and kill everything you roll up on.
