here are some pics of that engine

 

That's unreal.

 

+1 for some sort of NA build... ...even a stroker. If you're still wanting more power, nitrous would be a minimal expense that the engine is already prepped for.

 

What type of power is that thing putting down?

 

Best looking 350 I have ever seen. That motor is over the top .

 

with that engine plus the turbo's... ALOT!

 

sooo now i have alot of long extensive research to do... i am seriously going to consider the m45 engine swap! i will have my full complete plan and what im going to do step by step in about 2 or 3 weeks.. ill keep you posted

 

If you go with the stroker kit and FI you will need to go with a full stand alone (at least $5K). There are a few guys on my350z that have gone that route. You are looking at $50K just in the motor......that is ridiculous. Keep in mind I have almost $30K in my car (motor, rims, body kit, etc.) but $50K just in the motor I dunno.....

 

Hey good luck with your project.

 

I dunno, if it were me, I'd just buy a faster car and be done with it.

 

Any suggestions? Not counting eye candy mods, I only have $19K in the motor. $35K for the car + $19K = $54K. What car can you buy for $54K that has over 500hp at the wheel and will do the 1/4 mile anywhere from 11.5-11.8?

 

the yellow Z should push around 1200 hp
