I'm considering the LS swap but am curious if anyone has done a 370 swap? I am also thinking about the HR motor but then I would need the wiring harness and ecu. from an 08.

giant waste of money.

They also have oil cooling issues which has become a pretty big problem for people in warmer climates.

HR swap would be a waste of money IMO just because you could do an LS swap for around the same cash and still come out with more power and more potential and a better sounding exhaust note.

Cheapest would be to slap some bottled in the trunk and call it a day. Swap vs fi all depends on how much power you wanna make.

I must have been drunk that night. lol

I think my point was, why go through the money of swapping out to a minimally better engine when you could swap to something with much more capabilities and characteristics.

All in all, I would just build the DE you have in it. Look at my sig, I promise I would rather rep Nissan and the Z car.
