Ok, maybe your car wont be spinning all the time but I'd put even money its not going to have the same feel to it once you hop in it. Most of the RB and VG motors easily put down 350-400hp at the flywheel with very basic mods to them and you will spin.
Unless of course we take those 15' pizza cutters that pass for tires and tub the guards out to accept 18's, hard as fuck suspension to keep it from tramping, then your going to probably have to shorten the driveshaft so that it fits with the bigger gearbox, mate that up to a heavy duty dif, oh and lets not forget brakes because sure as shit after some heavy runs those POS standard ones are going to fade on you- going fast often means stopping fast, so they'll probably need a 300zx or R33 brake kit thrown in as well.
So Im saying what people dont want to hear.
What I am saying is that, you dont go throwing a huge big motor in a car, have lots more horsepower and think "thats it, I dont need to do anything else".
Its not the case, its just that the case involves a whole lot of other things as well we havent even touched on.
I just wouldnt want to live with the idea that I told someone that it would be "ok chuck the engine in, it'll fit sweet" and have them get hurt, write the car off because they got shite advice. That would just make me feel like an arsehole for not giving the right advice and I dont want to live with the BS of making someone dead.
It happens a lot, backyard jobs with half an idea done badly that ends in tears so if your going to do a job, do it properly and do it right, none of this half arse "she'll be right 'cause it fits shit."
Its not 'practical' and its never 'easy', anyone thinking that is in for a real surprise.
Thats as much as Im going to say on the matter because people arent listening.
