I'm fairly new to the Z car scene, but it seems to me that the L6 motor is just cool! Motor swaps are all the rage and 2JZGTE, RB26DETT, SR20DET and V8 swaps abound for these cars. Seems at this point in time that the straight 6 is starting to become a rare breed and at least in my neck of the woods (and among the younger car guys) it doesn't seem that anybody is building L6 motors anymore!
I wanted to keep the car true to its roots and build a badass NA motor!
