Engine swap for my convertible

[quantummechanic]

This winter I will be doing a swap on my very low mile convertible - in the search for a little more power.
I am not looking to tear off tires or impress my neighbours - it just needs a bit more...
I have a donor wrecked TT but would want to update/improve everything before dropping into its new home.
However...
I'm really liking the idea of more NA power. I have done many, many show winning swaps that look completely factory and now I'm very much leaning towards the VQ37VHR w/6speed out of a newer 370. I can get one relatively cheap. The mechanics and wiring do not scare me at all.
I truly believe it would be cheaper, just as much work, more fuel efficient and of course newer/lighter/pretty cool.
A V8 was looked at (VK, VH, LS*) but too loud and obnoxious for my pretty little conv.
Top Priority is it has to look and function as though it was from the factory.

Has it been done? And why shouldn't I attempt it?

I don't think it has been done and the reason is probably because of the Dollar to HP ratio. Plus the VQ35DE swap is very complex in the S chassis so one can only imagine how complex the VQ37HR would be.

Plus the engine, trans, wiring harness, and ECU is only the beginning... Just change your mind and go a more conventional route hah.

What kind of budget are you going to be working with?

Already did change my mind...put a deposit down on a slightly done up LS2.
Budget was around 7-10k

Have you seen this kit for your swap?

Yessir, I've been watching since spring. Now that they have a header and wiring, it just makes more sense to go that route.
Thanks tho
