I dont see anything E-Thug about you at all. The other guy came across rude. Thank you for the breif intro to Xterracer. That is really cool to see others have the same love for the trucks as I do.

As for the VQ35DE swap, i dont see the problem, their overall outside dimensions are nearly identical only the internals have a real difference in size and it is only by millimeters. If you have a link to the Calmini-Nissan project I would greatly appreciate it.

Personally I used to manage a performance shop that specialized in engine swaps, custom turbo systems, and prototype designs in intercooler positioning and transmissions. We even swapped a SRT4 transmission into a 2002 Acrua RSX-S just so we could have a transmission to hold the 600+whp that was being made by the 2.0L 4 banger. Thats just one of the swaps. making a RWD civic powered by a K20A out of an Integra Type R was a grulling project but it was done. So by the looks of this swap in comparison with others i have been a part of, this seems like a piece of cake.

I am not planning on building this truck in a week, therefore money is not a problem since it will be built over the next 2 years. The TCF LT kit will be used for now and who knows, maybe swapped later for a full out 25" custom system. Thoughts?
