Lightbulb A Titan 5.6L V8 in a G35?

hey, so a buddy of mine was telling me of someone who apparently dropped a 5.6L V8 from the Titan into 350Z and we were joking bout how I should put one in the G-- granted we were drinking heavily earlier and joking bout it...now that I think bout it more, I'm actually getting kind of interested in the possible gains and power a 5.6 would have in a G .. plus there's a guy selling an 05 V8 w/low miles for cheap!...
I was wondering if it would fit a G35? What other items would need to be replaced as well?
is it worth it?
Also, pros/ cons of doing it?

Feeler.. looking for some input...

Thanks everyone for your input/feedback

It's been done, some D1 team did it. Posted on here somewhere.

Here's a short vid of a G35C with a Supercharged Titan 5.4L :

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/gOtYO2XwmrA&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/gOtYO2XwmrA&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

Here is the car before all the graphics were put on, much better vid:

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/LMEN3vtxo9Q&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/LMEN3vtxo9Q&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

Anything can be done if you have enough money.
VK56DE engine, 2k
Tranny 2k
Build 15k
Supercharger 6k
Custom mounts, drivetrain, exhaust 2k
Work ??k

The VK56DE engine only makes 300hp stock, more torque than the VQ35 but same power. You pretty much have to do a build and power adder to make it worth while.

The Top Secret G did it as well I believe, but with twin snails

I love what Smokey said of this build: "getting that motor in there was like trying to get "Fat Oprah" in a Japanese School Girl Uniform"
