Well MY V8 is in!!! (LS2)
Congrats, this looks very nice. Amazing how much lower a 90 degree bank angle and no DOHC can make an engine sit in the engine bay. Tons of room for a blower.
I'd like to know the final weight difference as well. Having weighed out both an SR20DET and a LS6, I can say that whoever said this engine was lighter than the SR is wayyyy off. Maybe the newer LS2 is lighter than the LS6, but I bet not by much. I have not had a VQ35 to weigh, but someone posting a swap into his S14 weighed it and it came to be 310 lbs with flywheel. Thats about 110 lbs lighter than the LS6 I weighed, iirc. I'm not at home to look it up, unfortunately, but I think a it's a fair bet the LS is about a 100 lbs on the VQ35.
Now, can Hinson engineer the Corvette's rear transaxle to go into the back of the Z, cause that would really be somehting!? 50/50 weight distribution with an LS motor up front and a transaxle out back like on the vette or the new GT-R, wow- that's the stuff dreams are made of.

Congrats. That's one fast swap. I can wrap my mind around the mechanicals but what about the electrical? Is this a street legal conversion? ie.. keeps the OBDII or CAN sytem? I can easily see running the stock ecu to get the car running, ability to deal with the sensors and retain OBDII, but how did you guys overcome the Chevy ecu (I assume) to Nissan Z interface? ie.. for speedo, tach, TB e-wire etc, etc etc? I'd love to hear how it was dealt with!
Again congrats on the swap!

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