wow, I've seen an LS into a 240Z, but never a FB. wow

 

Hell yeah, thats what I want to do!

 

Ive been thinking of doing that

 

I havent, because i love my turboed rotary..

 

TOTAL BLASPHAMY!!!!!! poor FB

 

I'm sure that fb will rape your fb. Purist are only angry because they're behind the hot rodders

 

Can you please post a picture of your louvered hood? I love it.

 

 

Well, its a pointless argument, we all know fb's are easy to swap whatever into.

a 13b-re powered fb would run with a v8 powered fb.

but you could always do an inline 6 turbo, or say, an sr20det.

so dont go thinking that a v8 is THE best thing to put into an fb, there are just too many options to get set on a mindset that one kind of swap happens to be the best.

personally, i would rather have an sr20det in my se one day after my engine blows.

before you all raise up and yell "blasphemy" take into account how reliable and easy to build the engine is.

all engines have their strong points and weak points, which is why i say its pointless to argue.

 

of course. but for the hp to dollar ratio.......... i cannot argue w/ that.

an RE against a v8??? close call, but no cigar..... think about it much more deeply.

sweet swap, best swap in a 1st gen by far. gotta love that v8 torque.

 

i wanna see more pics!

 

I want to see it running.

 

i agree with directfreak, get some vids of this thing in action

 

yea get a video clip of it pwning the streets

 

wierd...the turbo 1st gens here in miami are always raping hot rodders and exotics..must be the humidty...

 

ewwwww chevy...... nice car, I'm sure it's fast. For the cost it's all worth it but if money is not the key a 20b T04Z is the way to go.

 

Im still waiting for DoLuck to post pix of his nicely louvered FB hood.

 

here ya go







it's functional and looks good.

 

car looks great. cant wait to see a video. represent for the graduating year of 05'

 

I wonder how much empty beer bottles/caps he sniffed from my recycling bin prior to this so called "brainstorming."

 

Could you please tell me every thing you purchased to do this swap? I really am interested. I blew the 12a in mine.

 

Holy Dead Thread Ressurection Batman!!!

 

only a year and a half or so. not too shabby. lol
