the funny thing about that movie was, I saw behind the scenes on tv and they used either a chevy or a ford motor but had fake exhaust and everything to make it look like it was a skyline motor or whatever was in there. they said the skyline motor didnt have enough torque for the application. that one made me laugh.

edit: after watching the video it's kind of cool. those gauges are f'n nice. let people do what they want, they did spend their money on it so whatever theyre into. It's not really my idea of an awesome swap, but it is different. would you have watched the video if it was just another lsx swap?
