With enough time and money, anything will "fit" haha.

I'm fairly certain I've seen G coupes with RB engines, so I can't think of why a 2JZ wouldn't fit. I'm not sure about the VK56 though... she's pretty big. Might have to make your own intake manifold.

Thats awesome do you have any suggestions as to what other engines would be a good swap? I dont really know how strong the vq really is as far as how much it can handle

It can handle a good bit, but LS3s are never a bad choice.
Could just supercharge or turbo the VQ.

You can make anything fit with enough persuasion from the "smoke wrench".

I suppose the better question would be is what are you goals (in terms of power and how you intend on using it).

Mostly 1/4 mile races and rolling start racing mainly looking for more acceleration

You probably had 2 threads talking about the same thing in different forums. He just combined them.
