Dude, you're clueless. You don't "slap in" a motor, you "throw in" a motor. Turbos and SCs get "slapped in" because they're easy

Haha this thread is great.

You guys can have fun with your super expensive VQ35 motors. I'm saving money here and going to take the VE out of my car and put a VG in.

pwn.

no one will ever beat my Mopar swap. VQ35 is weak (ok, except for Matts, well and Matt's)

Northstar=crap.....Everytime I think northstar....cadillac electric ride suspension enters my mind.....what a hunk. On a side note I tried the mid engine mount of the vq3.5...however getting that in there and the differential for the awd system..was to hard. So I just shoe horned it in the engine bay...wasnt that bad..I just hope the jb weld holds.

WTF does the suspension have to do with the motor?

I'm sure cadillac had electronic suspension on the motor mounts too...I think it was on just about everything the car had.LOL JK regardless the northstar system is the most overrated engine around....you dont here to much talk about it now. For me I'm putting a southstar in.

Then I will have to start another thread on how we are putting a new mustang V6 engine and converting my friends 5.0 lx to AWD, with FWD bias.
