Message	Mostly joking, I don't have the time, money or skill to pioneer any kind of engine swap. But I was daydreaming the possibilities available with Nissan engines and chassis. I understand the VQ's lighter than the VG by quite a bit. That 287 hp could be fun in a Slicktop. And them what would you name the thing? 350zx? 300z? :) Adlashwa's LS1 swap seems to be the way to go, if one is inclined to do such things.
