I've been entertaining this particular idea for some time, but have been reluctant to do it since I don't know if the final outcome will look as good as it does in my mind.

Since the next item on my checklist is paint and body, I figured it would be time to do something about it. I started pricing it out today and it would be pretty close to the same price as buying a ready made S15 swap, just with a whole lot more time invested in fabrication.

So what does everyone think? Would it be worthwhile? Am I the only one that sees it as a good idea? Should I put a VK45 in there while I am at it?

edit: Also thanks to google search and whoevers car(s) I used to come up with this

To me that front looks a little too wide and boxy for the lines of the s14. But hey, it would end up pretty interesting.

Ok, to put it blantly, dumb idea. But awww the M45. Now that's a nice luxury car.

I'm all about sports cars but when one day, when I'm all old and grey, this would be the car to retire with (if it was today). M45's are tyte. 1/4 mile in 14 secs. And just looks like the dad of the 97/98 s14. I've seen them dropped with big lips all around. I can bling in it no prob.
