    Oh ok I forgot cars.com is the Bible when it comes to everything automotive. And here I was just basing what I know off of what I see and deal with everyday working in a Nissan Dealership. Those "Japs" as so many like to refer to them, make more than just Toyota's as you pointed out. I bet you half of my cust base is 65+. I can't tell you how many come in with their WWII veteran tags and bumper stickers saying how they were B-25 or B-29 pilots during the War. And they personally tell me how much better a product Nissan is than the Chevy and Fords they use to own. That my friend is a fact!

    I guess I better call all the ads I've found and people I've talked to about 2jzgte engine tranny combo's found under 4-5grand and tell them they are liars:rolleyes:. Sorry if I find better deals than you.

    And no Im married, just bought a house a few months back, and were expecting.

    I say build it any way you want. Why should I care, it is not my car.

    I currently own 7 Ford products, and one (95 SHO) is powered by a Yamaha built V6. So technically it is a Japanese powered Ford, from the Factory. Why not I am half Japanese myself.

    One of my goals is to someday put a small block Ford with "Powered By Ford" valve covers in a 69 Camaro RS/SS and take it to car shows. :evilsmile

    I had a SR20DE engine in my Nissan 200SX SE-R and it rocked! It had a decent amount of torque and was able to take a beating.
