okay heres the deal, im really sick of the little v6 in the fronty, and ive been toying with the idea of a V8. and then theres my friend putting a lexus V8 in his 4runner lol. so i guess i gotta keep up right? lol. so has anyone done a V8 swap into a fronty yet? or seen any done, or have any info at all on one? ive been looking all over, havnt found a single swap. not even a beefed up v6 swap. whats out there?

Ive seen a infiniti Q45 engine put in an 01 frontier and it made a HUGE difference!
Those engines sounds sweet, its wont be ricey at all!
are you gonna do any mods to this engine (i.e. better intercooler, blowoff valve, headers, exhaust)? Those would maybe put you at 320-350hp at the flywheel.
Seriously think about an intercooler, even a small one. It will keep the turbo's cool,, maybe check the ones out of a mini cooper or a wrx. If you heat those turbo's enough then it will cost you more in the long run.
