        It really isn't dreaming big, the motors aren't that expensive. Also, a lot easier swap then a lambo motor, not to mention motor, tranny, and parts availability.

              There should be no oiling problems with the RB motors, unless it was not put together right. The RB26 stock bottom end has been proven to make 600whp+

              Under high G's the stock motor's sump can go dry, from what I have read. I don't have one in the garage to back that up but I have read it in a few places.

                Correct me if I'm wrong but wouldnt that happen with most any cars...I think that's why some of the racecars use a dry sump system...

                  Certainly but most "stock" cars cant pull the g's that an R34 can. The ones that can are all built for it, ie Porsche, Lotus, Ferrari, Corvette, etc. etc.

                    Just my opinion, LS serious rocks. A boosted large cube engine over ur boosted I6 any day.

                      I would love to have a G-body LS1. Have any of you guys seen the video of Dave's SS Camaro in Sioux Falls when it did the wheel stand on a 200 shot and smashed the block?

                                    Put long tubes on the LT1 and get rid of the emissions and it is a lot easier 🙂

                                      Yeah I have a friend that says this is the easier of the two ways to change spark plugs.

                                      I dunno looks like the LS1 is harder to work on then the L36
