Are you kidding me??? You have the weight for the RB26DETT? I assume that's what under there. There's no way in hell they are even anywhere close. From what I understand, people use the RWD RB25 tranny to make this work. I think anyway.

It cost about 6K for a engine and about another 1500 for a tranny but then you have to modify the RB Tranny cause the from driveshafts for the AWD come straight out of the tranny and it will not be compatible as is. Plus whatever other modifications your lookin at at least 12K for the swap and thats if you got a hook up on the install and tuning.

And I love the "custom spring rates" statement.

Here is a hint. When you are trying to add information to a conversation (especially one that we have discussed before in length), just posting a link for me to dig though does nothing. If you post the link, then it's up to you to point out the specific information you want relayed. I do it. I think you can to.

Now why would it appear to do that?? Here is a hint. Consider what looks taller, where those pieces are mounted and what they are made of.

It’s simple Jeff, that RB26 does sit lower then the VQ35 in our engine bay. End of story, I don’t care what they are made of, what they look like, or what it takes to get the engine in there. By looking at both of the pictures (if you have even opened up the pictures that I attached) you can obviously see that the RB26 does in fact sit lower. Look at the RB26 motor...you can see the back of the engine bay wall. Then take a look at the picture with the VQ35 motor, notice you can’t see the back of the engine bay. This is obvious that the RB26 sits lower...
