Would be cool, but driving it, not many people would know what you've got under the hood anyways.
that would be the main point. Someone in lets say an evo or an STi pulls up to you and you have this 300zx or 3000gt or even the 2jz S2000. And you just blow their doors off and leave them wondering what the hell that just was.

THAT WOULD BE

oh wait - no it isn't

really no one cares if you blew them away for no more than 48 seconds "wow he was fast" and then they head to 711 and get a slurpie and streat racing is just plan retarded

truthfully - do you care if others are faster than you, slower than you, better looking - no matter what there will always ALWAYS be someone faster

Never seen before? How about Tyler saving money?

This is true but i would like to be unique and even at car shows it would be nice to show that i have something origional and not something else someone has seen a thousand times. I dont mind the power though

Sorry, this is one of the most silly ideas I've ever heard.

First of all, the VR4 already has a very potent engine/turbo setup that is very capable of adding more hp. It is about the only good thing going for this car. Its handicaps are its sub par chasis and pig-like weight. So what is the point of putting a 2JZ in this crap of a shell? It's like putting a Camaro engine in a Mustang.

Its engine is transversly mounted as Cubby said, and it is a AWD setup. It's not a sleeper in any way, shape, or form anyhow.

BEN!

I agree with everything you just said BTW, I have a relative who did just what you said, only the other way around. He stuffed a 5.0 motor and tranny from a Mustang into an 88 (I think) Z28. Complete with 5.0 badging! He calls it "Mustaro" or "Camstang" which if said improperly can get you into trouble

That makes no sense at all. Why go that route when Chevy made a more powerful 350 that drops right in?

He liked the Ford engine better... Those 5.0's were bulletproof and good for torque. I was surprised as well, but he builds his own cars so it was just his preference.
