Personally I would probably just build the vq and bore it to be a bit bigger. Just think you could have a 3.7 before the 370 comes out...now thats different.

well lets see. theres a choice here. 2.6L or 5.6L, lets do some math.
5.6/2.6=2.15, as in the 5.6 is over twice the size of the 2.6. ok, how about the engine itself?
vk: better engine management, shorter length, lighter block
rb: massive iron block that can handle lots of boost (but weighs a billion pounds)
in the end, you have to realize that truthfully, there is no replacement for displacement.

RB26 is by all means a great motor, legendary if that. Fact is its old technology. The VQ35 is capable of more power than the RB if built right, thats why I opted for this swap in my 240sx. If your going to spend the money to down grade to a stock RB then build it up you might as well stick with the VQ and build it, it would make more sense. So with no question do the VK56 swap and build it up. Torque will be unreal.
