Sacrilege!!!!!!

Wonder how hard that swap is gonna be? Plug n play with existing computers? Probably have to get rid of the displacement on demand and variable valve timing though. Then you run into the always-present limitations of injector sizing that direct injection guys get saddled with.

I see the following happening:
$800 camshafts
$500 springs
$1,500 injectors
$1,200 intake manifold to make a swap work.

But all worth it if going forced induction, as that sweet forged bottom end should be holding ALOT of power! GT500 guys will be pissed.

Anyone want to take a guess what company will be the best aftermarket performer for the new Gen V's? Id love to see AI give it a shot.
