why dont you pm the other member on this board that did a LS2 install? its on the first page of the forum right now... i assume it is very similar and at least he will be able to give you some guidance.

so what your saying is you want an LS engine in your car? well like stated above noahs is a great example,www.hinsonsupercars.com
did the build all the parts are there look to spend 5k on things just to fit the engine in your car and another 6500 for an engine and tranny becasue the nissan tranny will not work, you have to use the GMtranny wiring harness,ECU GL.
yet another v8 in a 350z i think im going to sell the parts i have so far and go another route becasue seems everyone thinks its easy as s$#t

Let me know if you need any help. Ive owned 2 LS1 Tas and I now own/built a 93 RX7 that I swapped an LS6 into using pretty basic hand tools with my hairdresser girlfriends help. I can help with any questions on what to and what not to buy. Brian Hinson is a great guy to deal with when going through this. And SC 350z..it really isnt that bad.

I still don't understand why people do this. Correct me if I'm wrong, but, if you really wanted a V8. You should have bought one. And, putting a Chevy engine in a NISSAN is kinda oxymoron-ish. Don't flame me. Just my 2 cents. Oh man.. This world.

I agree with you 100%^ hybrid swaps like this is lame but if it tickles your pickle then 
I would rather do a VK or RB swap if you don't want the VQ any more

My car is 2,619lbs -driver(with the big ol' V8) and is about 150lbs lighter in the front of the car now.

That makes no sense. What if he hates the looks of all V8s? Its like having the best of both worlds..he will have the power of a V8 and the looks of the car he wants..

Yeaaaa bra good job...... NOT. Just like a 2jz in a S2K ..Why?? Just buy a supra. Im going to buy a bike and try to make a skateboard out of it because I like both...

-Handles a little better(its much lighter up front)
- Has Better gas mileage
- is Reliable(i wouldnt say MORE cuz the rotary isnt reliable at all)
-Makes Torque
- is LESS expensive(when you factor in maintenance and mods)..1000$ will get you 400 EXTREMELY reliable whp with an LS1..how much to do the same with a rotary?..hmm
-Has a MUCH stronger Transmission(t56 6 speed)
....the list goes on if youd like I can continue..but please..share your cons on what makes this a bad swap...I gotta hear this

I could care less what all of you say.. I think its lame and i stated (IMO) You guys cant change my mind. Also I would not swap an engine into something that's its not supposed to be in. not even a Honda to make it "JDM". It come's how it come's and end of story. this is just how I think. I'm stating engine's and rims also not little accessory like a stupid antenna.
