Default Import guy converting to the Dark Side :)

So I have been lurking on here and even posting but never made a formal intro thread. My name is Herb and I own a 95 240sx. I did the whole typical 240sx thing and went from a stock KA motor to a built SR20 motor and my final endeavor was my crazy 2JZ build.

Needless to say life happens and a few grown up choices has required me to ditch my 2J build and so I am slowly converting over to the V8 world, partially because my two good friends who have amazing LS1 powered 240sx's. So I am now slowly diving into the V8 world.

I kept the S14 240sx chassis so the plan is a bit simple I think:

LQ4 (2003+)
LS6 Intake Mani
T56
PSI Conversion Wiring Harness
Canton Oil Pan
Holly/Hooker Engine Swap Kit
Hooker 1 7/8 headers
Custom DriveShaft

I think that will be it for now besides like the clutch, flywheel, and all of the other small stuff I didnt mention. Plan on going boost for 2014 if all goes well .....but I need to learn way more about this setup before feeling comfortable with a turbo application.
