Message	Over a VG30 with 4 mains. The crank is the Achilles Heel of the VG30. The RB26 is capable of producing more power than a 2JZ with less displacement. The RB26 has to be tilted in order to fit, doing an NA2TT conversion is easier. I'm not a big fan of RBs in a Z, except in a 240Z, in most cases is much easier than a NA2TT conversion.
