with a different intake manifold, the stock hood will close for sure. if it was boosted already then we would have a different one on there. NA the runner lengths will matter a lot, boost not as much.


the hood only doesnt shut by about 3 or 4 inches really. its not as bad as you think...

But I'm guessing nowhere near the work and labor it would take to swap in an LS series motor.

I know that the 5.6 in my 4x4 Titan hauls ***. I can't even imagine it in a Z or G chassis. It would be sick. 'Vette killer for sure

i posted this thread over on titantalk.com, since a lot of people there are interested in a twin-turbo setup for the VK.

Great job! subscribing...

Well, both Kel (he has his done) and soon Tecni will have TT VK's in their G35's. The VK seems to be a great platform for this swap. It's very temping to just go this route than a built twin turbo VQ.

surely is...

but i'm curious as to the cost of a VK swap into the G...if it's not an outrageous amount, i may have to go that route as well.
