Upgrade stock motor or engine swap

Im looking to have over 400whp from my g.

Im thinking stillen sc with some internals. Tranny cooler, oil cooler, osiris etc.

Or straight engine swap to a ls engine or even a old muscle car engine. I currently have 2 engines to choose from. A dodge 440 or a 69 chevy z28 in the family that aren't being used. And would probably get for free

I'd try to get a G37 motor and sc that. Either that or get a 5.4 from a Nissan Titan.

i takes a lot to get one of those big motors in our engine bay. SC with a built motor and you will be happy.

Pshaw! A guy who would even mention a stillen SC then follow up with the suggestion of transplanting an engine out of a 60s dodge or chevy MUST be a heck of a mechanic.

I read tons of threads on the forums here and on 350z that the LS swap is a breeze and more often than not will help save MAXIMUM dollars- probably cost half of what installing an SC would. That's probably the safest route.

But really, the stillen is also a top notch product, often netting roughly TWICE the advertised gains on the VQ- provided that you have a short throw shifter or at the VERY least an AT.
