Trying to decide which way to go...
for 54K you are getting 10.4L motor/twin 88mm turbo/fuel system/ and custom intake.
they seem very well priced actually.

if i could afford it i would love a NRE engine in mine. just cant afford a 50k engine lol but i still drool over the 427 twin turbo he builds. i would say lsx all the way since your gona have to fab alot anyway. or like i mentioned in the lsx questions thread, gen 3 viper engines are going for about the same as a ls2 now and quite a bit more displacement to work with.
that might make it harder to use a th400 though since the bolt pattern is different.

What do you think about trying to do something similar to Juke R? So it would be a Murano R haha... probably will be expensive and time consuming but may be I can sell a few of these kits later down the road? Apparently I read today that there are people willing to pay for Juke R...

If I were to suggest off beat engine swap, go srt10 swap. 8.4 liters + v10... then Turbos.

i know it was mentioned in the ls swap thread about v10 being more expensive but i dont know i was seeing gen 3 engines+trans going for 6k-7k pretty close to what im seeing ls2's going for nowadays from the same distributors, granted i was looking on ebay but they all seemed to be from salvage yards and some offered warrentys. some mentioned they are touchy with headwork but i think with turbos it wouldnt be a big deal especially since stock its 500 hp

LS engines is what i specialize in (our corvette runs 7s and is the fastest IRS corvette worldwide and this season planning on beating world IRS record of 7.11) so having that one done will not be a problem at all... just need to decided which was to go
thats a big block so it might be a bit harder to fit in the car, gona be taller and wider then the lsx longer as well but not as long as the viper. i would love to have a NRE product though, the work they do is amazing. im not sure if they still do it or not but they used to offer 2 year/24k mile warrentys on all there engines too(at least the lsx 1600 hp ones lol.) anyway the op goes its gona be major fab work so who knows i would def say viper or lsx though lsx prob require then least work though

all of the above would be cool in a Murano 
If he wants an inline 6 it has to be a TB48DE
I SAYS SO!
LOL but srs, that thing s*** on all other inline 6 motors.
My vote is still LS. Turbo + nitrous
Or V10
or tb48de if you can get one that would be ballin out the ***.

Anything quicker than a 14 second shakedown pass?
I'm sure it's something similar to what happened to vlad's car... Just some random problem keeping the car in a shop somewhere.
I'm going to bump this thread with an offtopic post... that is awesome

i voted sbc, but more specifically a built lsx with spray
but if you are going all out drag and that much power, why not get a lighter car?
i dont know for sure, but it would seem to help out quite a bit in the 1/4 if you had a lighter car.
