a properly installed V8 doesn't throw off weight distribution much at ALL with some slight modification and it is much cheaper and much easier to acquire parts for than an SR20 or especially an RB

[DemoFly]

And more expensive.

[khammett12]

that is the definition of hot rodding

take the biggest engine and stuff it in the smallest car possible

I LOVE IT!!!!!

so i watch this video at least once a week and never get sick of it,what a weapon,very jealous....

[jugerknott09]

so the question is how much does one of these cost.....?

[ZEEUL8TR]

@TheLPB Indeed, but going for a LT1 or LS1 or better will cost you quite a bit.

Regular v8s can push 200HP stock.. but an LT1 already gives you 300HP, not to mention torque to match. :]

Also, SR20 are vanity engines, its just a fad. Performance wise is meh.. unless your sponsored I wouldn't touch that 4banger.

@thevarekai007 because it's fun?

[Boxin4]

@Hardwyre  they never made one. thats the LS1

This car is an early version of Darius's car, it is much different today.

The setback position on a small block V8 actually gives you a perfect 50/50 weight distribution. To learn more about V8 swaps and many other engine swaps in Datsun Z cars go to HybridZ.org This video inspired me to build by own which is almost a clone to this car

[thevarekai007]

this guy is an idiot. why would you try to burn out into oncoming traffic?

[lowlowfoshow2005]

can we say BRO-NER.... boing lol

[Hardwyre]

Aluminum block LT1 weights less than the iron L engine. Distribution is actually improved.
