The engine looks way too big to even fit in the engine bay.

^^^If the 5.7L LS1 fits, I think the 5.6L titan motor should fit too. Never seen it though, so I could be wrong. Ppl have put them into Z33's though.

EDIT: Oh look what I found in a 2 second google search...

That looks messy. Lol. But I stand corrected. It is possible.

Theres a S15 in Formula D that has a supercharged titan 5.6L.Its a Drift Emporium car. They also make a adapter to put the z33 trans behind it.

I wonder how much the VK56DE weighs with the neccessary accessories versus the VH45DE? Hmmm...

There is only one... and he had to build the intake manifold, relocating steering components, and notch the frame rails. Took him 100's of hours of fabrication and that's what he does. And..... you cant buy many upgrades for that motor, it had minimal aftermarket support.

^^^I thought it would be something like that. I'd much rather do like GSRacer did and supercharge the VH45 in his S14. At least there's a swap kit available. I sincerely doubt many ppl need more power than that setup was capable of.
