Why not just throw a rear motor from a Lexus RX400h into the rear of a small front drive car.

Just saw a 1960s pontiac OHC six out of a lemans.
If anybody's really adventurous, it might be pretty cool and complete at abc u-pull in west palm for about 150 bucks.

Just got back from there and the carbs are still there on a E88 head and unmolested.
It's a manual car and tranny still there.
There was also a FS5r30 shorty tranny in a pathfinder 2wd.

1996 nissan quest ecu is obdII and will run the L28et.

Mercedes Bluetec E320 is 200hp and 400ft pounds of torque.
They are also sharing the technology with volkswagen who will be introducing models some time in 2008 using the technology.

The 3.0 was available in the S2 (1989-1991)which then got replaced rather then evolved to S3 status.

Ford found them helpful with mustang GTs in which noobs were revving the guts out of them on cold start-up causing piston skirts to slap right off.
Yes, they are more "goof proof" concerning the care that the driver displays in warming up the engine.

I didn't check whether the thread had this ski boat with a twin turbo infiniti V8 but here it is.
Here are the guys who built it and it seems they are working on a 6 liter version with 1500hp.

Remember also that a 455 as installed in the cars it came in used different engine mounts than any other olds engine.
I know this because putting replacing a blown up 455 with a 403 in a late 60s cutlass caused exhaust manifold woes.
The 455 also ends up wider than the other olds engines.

Believe me, I am well versed in nissan first generation maximas.
Anybody can get a good deal but the 2,000 price is what many sellers ask for when a common man with no mechanical experience looks for a replacement L28.
I will be soon selling my first generation turbocharged maxima for around 500 bucks compete with 5 speed kit (uninstalled) and R200 installed if anybody wants a first generation maxima with high mileage but in pretty good shape............unless hurricane IKE does something bad to it.
This car is a hurricane magnet and in the 4 years I've owned it the eyes of hurricane Charlie, Frances, Jeanne, and then Wilma have passed over it and only a pencil eraser sized dent on the roof.
Wherever it goes, hurricanes show up.

That is a fluke and you won't find that often.

Sweet sweet sweet!!
As clean as that cuda machine is, I'll venture a guess you are surely not at a toyota dealership or that thing would be a skanky mess.
That RB tranny sure looks a lot like the implementation used in the pathfinders and Z31 turbo from late 1987 on.
Of course........they are rare and the Z32 tranny is not.

That's in the same price range as the RD28TI (skyline taxicabs) which I believe is common rail injection.

When it's not plugged in (assuming the wiring is ok) your car will go full rich to the point of fouling the plugs.

BJhines hit this on another thread.
Body ground to engine ground problem.
Your car uses ground to determine zero voltage.
If you have a lifted ground (usually between body and negative terminal) your voltage regulator does not know the actual voltage.
Connect up a pair of jumper cables between the engine and a bolt on top of a strut tower and measure voltage again.
If voltage returns to normal, try either fixing the lifted ground or guarantee body ground by running a ground strap between the engine and the body.
If your car cranks slowly......expect the fix above not fix your problem alone since that fix assumes the big black wire going to the block is fine.

I do know the driveshaft flange on the R200s you find in a 200sx turbo have the same size and bolt spacing as the flange you find on a R180.
The square/rectangular flange on the R200s in a 280zx turbo are different.
I don't remember the other applications.

Take off the panel over the control unit by the driver's feet.
Wiggle the wires gently near the connectors on the pcm when you run into the problem.
Tell us if it made a difference.
You might not be able to see over the dash while doing this so take a passenger.

Pathfinder or truck maybe?
-
Is your battery held down such that it cannot either tip or slide to the point at which the positive battery terminal touches the body?
-
Unplug the head temp sensor down there by the number 5 spark plug and let us know how much black smoke it pumped...........or didn't.

Subaru XT6 uses the same distributor rotor as the vg30e so it is possible you may get something by cross referencing but out of stock will be out of stock regardless of of who is the middleman.

Overlap in valve timing would have to be significant to get any gains.
Might work better in a rotary since they have a ton of overlap and also use ports like most two strokes.
