Re: What motor would you choose? To put in a Z car.
LS6 intake, shorty headers (which you end up needing to make it fit), exhaust , big cam, and heads netted 420whp out of the LQ9. Guys look for the lq9 heads because they drop the compression and make it easy to boost. The heads I bought were ls6 ones so I could get NA power.

Re: What motor would you choose? To put in a Z car.
I vote LS1. I am all for the Viper motor but not sure it would fit (someone done this???). The engine bay on my viper seems huge and the motor hardley fits.

Re: What motor would you choose? To put in a Z car.
So, a stock engined r34 is in fact not godzilla. It would need to be rb30 swapped for that to happen.

The R32 is Godzilla. The Godzilla thing wore off a bit for the BNR33 and BNR34.
