what'd you put in it?

all I can make out is a V set up...and what looks like a big throttlebody up front?

LT or LS?

to be honest...i'm not a huge fan of mutts...but hell, if you want big power cheap...can't argue an LS swap in one....if I find a roller I'd probably do the same.

Its an LQ4...

LS2 cept iron basically. Only weighs about 40 more lbs than the stock engine, making the weight dist, 50/50.

Got an 02 engine and 04 GTO T56 transmission, for 1900 bucks, all low mileage. Heads and cam are coming within the next few weeks. Cant beat 420+hp and a Viper spec 6 spd transmission all for under 3500 bucks!!

nice job man. i hate the way they look with the parkbench bumpers on them. its got a nice clean look now. I dont get why people would complain about the motor swap... As long as it doesnt say V-TEC and have a 4" tip attached to stock 1.5" piping i say its all good. I'm in the middle of buying a 260 Z and im putting a RB 25det into it, just cuz i have one sitting around. keep us posted on your car!

Sourced the transmission for 900$ at a very well known junkyard in Florida. Even came with the B&M precision sport shifter. Obviously someone screwed up pretty good with their goat.

Thanks for the comments guys
