I make the assumption that you've never heard of an LS1? LS2? LS6? LS7 is a big block, but either way it'd stomp a 1JZ. And get 18 miles to the gallon to boot.


Besides, I have a 1970 Corvette 350 in my 79 Z28, and have YET to have lost a race. about 4.5k to 5 grand max invested, and I've torn up one MK3, several SRT4's, one WRX, one WRX STI.


Moral of the story, ANYTHING can be fast.


Good luck with the swap. If you're in Reno, I could offer my fabrication skills.
