Guys your making the engine bit too complicated.... You think Chevy 305 intake manifolds bolt up to a chevy 350, 454, or even a ZZ502. Nope! If you can dump an RB26DETT into a 240SX than this is easly doable.
The real question is is the mounting geometry the same? Yeah the deck height may be taller but your talking less than .75 inches. Get a performance intake, keep the original timming setup, get head/cylinder work done, get a set of forged .20 over 11.5:1 and she what shes got. The mounting geometry should be similar. Hell if its not, nothing a little cut off saw, grinder, and welder cant fix.
If this is true and you've got a good opprotunity to try this out. HELL If you were to try the FI route you would probably get awsome support from many sponsors here just to show it can be done.
With the longer stroke you'll probably only loose 500-700RPM but gain an a$$ load of torque and there is deffinately no replacement for displacement. With the right internals I can see you even bumping the RPM's, if you can rev a V8 to 7500 you can most deffinately rev a VQ40 to 7500.
Just my .02

Yeah I know that was drunken guestimation, I didnt want to over estimate and blow some rediculous number out my @ss. Over all it has lots of potential.

The only way i would keep it was if i get a huge sponsor n i dont have to worry about no money and repairing becouse i dont really have the bank to through my self in a project that might work. I would'nt mind trying i would be up to it but only if a get a big sponsor from a reputable shop. If any of you know what shop is up to the challenge let me know.

Bro I would love to but I just don’t have that type of money to messing around with sh**. I will hopefully have my ultimate long block built so I really don’t care about that. Like I said if a shop wants to get my car with the motor and mess around with it be my guess. Of course they will pay for everything I will just let them use it. If someone wants to buy it be my guess.
