Ponies are relatively close, but substantially more torque than all 3.

LR4 = GM 4.8 liter vortec? interesting idea.
wouldn't have thought the ar5 tranny would hold up that well. isn't it only rated for something like 250 ft-lbs.
the more I see about the VH swap, the more promising it looks.
not a huge fan of the way this guy did some things, but it does make the swap seem almost "easy"
VH45DE swap info, fitment issues and things to consider : 300ZX (Z32) General
having a hard time finding another option that works as well as this one does for the money.
