Default Build Your Own 370z

I just got to thinking well so many people have done engine swaps on the z's, between sr20 swaps and V 8 titan swaps, how come noone swapped the 3.7 liter engine into an existing Z platform?

Even though its almost hopeless I keep looking for totaled G37s on ebay and junk yard sites for this same swap.

because when it is all done, it would not be worth the cost or effort to do this. you would be better off buying a 370Z.

cause for the money you use putting a 3.7 in you could buy a built engine which will be able to handle more power.

the 370 looks so much cooler! A bit of the classic Z retro in the lines of the car (not pudgy like the 350).

Don’t get ur panties in a bundle 350 guys/girls... I love the 350 and it’s the most fun to drive car I've driven... but I think the styling of the 370 is much better.

The new sedan looks way better than my 04 too… that’s just the way it goes

I gotta say... If the new Z looks like the most recent pics ive seen i want nothing to do with it. Its my opinion but it is ugly as shat. the taillights and headlights are hideous. I like what they did with the quarter window. reminds me of a 240z.

makes me want to keep my z

^ +1. Looks like someone photoshopped the headlights and tailights using smudge and liquify as a joke, but it somehow passed into concept stage, then full production.
