I ain't gonna lie, when I read the title, my blood pressure started rising. But, that KA is putting out really good numbers, and I'd argue that it's a better platform to build, vs the RB20, at least in these these times.

For sure. I think the purists would go crazy if you pulled a 26 out of a GTR, but this makes perfect sense.

Even a non-purist would be a fool to yank out a running 26 to replace it with a KA.

Well it was only a RB20, people either love or hate my build.

Just paint it red so the SR20 d!ckriders can appreciate it.... or get marker and write Vortec on the top of it or put a plastic Vortec cover on top of your valve cover.

An engine is just a "big air pump" is what most tuners say these days. So basically if you narrow it down to simpler terms you just have a 4 cylinder, 6 cylinder, 8 cylinder etc "air pump" and you build it to hold whatever power you require of it.

The fact that it will wear down and eventually acquire an engine failure is inevitable. Even n/a untouched manufacturing factory engines will break down and fail. Just when you start modifications to maximize performance is when engine failures become more evident. Everything else is subjective and based on opinion.

I almost got the valve cover powdercoated red without thinking about it, people would automatically say it was a SR lol. The new oil pan setup is finally in, just need a CD009 trans and the overall setup will be complete.
