Default V8 conversion

http://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/CTGY/PRC01

these are supposibly V8 engine mounts for a 350Z

they allow the mounting of a V8 chevy engine in a 350Z

are they real? does a chevy V8 add power? Does it throw off the balance?

THX in advance

Think older. Its probably for a 240Z or 280Z. A v8 swap is pretty common for those Z's.

But Jeremey at Peformance Factory was talking about putting an LSx in a G35 once. Not sure if he ever did get around to it.

"Performance Factory, thats how they roll!"

kel from g35driver.com is adding the VK v8 into his g35 widebody with m45 headlights. it's twin turbo as well. his project is taking a long time, but at least its manifesting.

those are some dumb questions. will it add power? what the hell do you think. and yes it will throw off weight distribution.

You aren't one of those that still believe an LS series motor is heavier than the VQ, I hope???
