Very cool build. Nobody's going to ask the pertinent questions?

Is anything wrong with the original engine?

Any before / after dyno #'s?

What's up with the Two Guys Garage space being used?

Will this be on the show?

I'll be watching this. THe 370Z is a great car and the LS swap is very cool. Thanks!

Killer swap candidate, you going to open the front end up for more airflow?...the VQ's would overheat with the catfish front ends

Hey man, love what you did with the swap. I have my '09 370z up for sale but was inspired by your project. About to start this journey but not sure where to start. Sharing your experience/insight/advice would be greatly appreciated!

Oh Nissan... you would think after 90% of the S30 chassis cars rusted to swiss cheese proportions you would invest more in some rust proofing.

Nice car and love the swap! Doing a 71 Datsun 240z restomod right now. I have a soft spot for the Z line
