i have been told that the weight difference is around 40 pounds. we will weigh this thing once we get it all 100%.

One thing with Jeremy when he says he's going to do something he makes it happen. I remember you talking about doing this, it's great to finally see it coming together. Thats just going to be sick.

I remember talking about this when we were swapping motors on our cars back @ your house. Glad to see it come together.

40lbs heavier is manageable, especially for drag/street racing.

Jeremy,

I still want to see you do a small block Ford swap. just think about it.........you could put a 347 (5.6L) stroker in there and still call it a G56.

Use the new Boss 302 block or the Dart block, and you have an engine easly capable of withstanding 2000+ HP. Plus the low 8.2" deck height of the 302 block will give you so much more room to work with than the big VK56.

Tecni has a VH45DE.

how much does a stock vk put down at the wheels?

will this be a kit offered for the swap or will it be an inhouse swap only?

do u know if the hood would be able to close on a z with the 07 hood?

i'm assuming its way to early to hint at the price? if not, estimated prices are appreciated. look like it will come out to be much cheaper than an lsx swap
