Same difference. Your worried about image. You know what the 240's heritage is? Being a dirt cheap trash can car with a shit engine that's easy to shove a better engine in.

SR20 is a "tinny 4 banger"

You are a fucking idiot. It's only been proven time and time again across the ages that an aluminum block LS engine is retarded light. You sound like thr idiot weeboos on 240sxForums circa 2004 screaming not to do RB Swaps because it adds 100lbs and moves weight in front of the wheels.
Great theory on paper, but utterly wrong in practice. LS1 is going to be lighter than a RB or 2JZ.
As for torque... They do make tires wider than 235. Me thinks you've not driven a fast car before.

Here we go again with the IG bullshit. Not everyone wants to needs a numbers matching original. Plenty just want a bad ass V8 Muscle car. How is dropping a 427ci stroked LS into a 6-banger Nova or a 350 Chevelle "destroying it"..
You do realize the Foxbody is now a classic that people are paying stupid money for, right?

Once again, all worried about the hype train and no actual experience. The entire point of hot rodding is to be swapping engines and going fast.

Except they are $/HP. By the time you upgrade your SR and transmission, you got LS money. You can buy a complete LS3 swap package for like $8k.

Can you get a 2JZ or SR head next day at your local auto zone?
