the LS2 is lighter than a SR20DET believe it or not. Very good choice for engine swap. This engine is getting very popular with drifters as well.

But wait the new camaro (high end version +2010) will get the strongest lightest aluminum V8 ever created by GM.

Noah, after SEMA if you want the ultimate short-throw shifter (IMHO) get a GM Motorsport RipShifter (Race) from Aussie land. I put one in my 06 GTO and it kicks ****. I can PM you links if interested...

I doubt anything on that shift linkage is similar to a stock unit.. I might be wrong, but I doubt it.

Looks right at home! Congratulations, I have been anticipating the completion as no else on this site has yet took the challenge of putting a V8 in a 350z. Nice to see another option!

i havent read up on his other thread in awhile... but I believe he said this swap was is around 9k.... which makes it beautifully affordable with lots of NA potential....

Holy fricken hell!!!!!!!!This is damn amazing. I really can't wait to see some vids and hear how it sounds attached to a Z. If my engine every breaks down, this swap will definitely be an option.
