2k 2k1 swap for a 2k2 or 2k3????

Has this been talked about before?
I couldn't find it, was wondering if it's worth it for the new engine??

There was also a guy on here a while back that put the whole vq35 setup in his 2k or 2k1.

maxS has done a complete swap.

Tilley has put just a VQ35 shortblock in a 4th gen.

It is possible, but a lot of work/money.

So is boosting/blowing or buying a whole new car, which seem like more the practical alternatives IMO.

yeah someone did, said it was a lot of work. You also have to rewire pretty much everything. Another one is blackbirdvq mounting a 6 speed to a 3.0
