Hybrid Engine :)

So I've been chewing my fingers on this one... I have an RB25DET sitting in my garage that came out of a fully running donor car, descisions descisions....

 Then the idea hit me"Hybrid Engine"!!! We all know the dilema when trying to squeeze that straight six into our S chassis... It's frustrating enough just getting it in. In case you don't know it includes: mounting you have to either buy a mounting kit that bolts up to your subframe or custom fab one. Personally Mckinney Motorsports has me covered. Then you need to bang or cut and reweld your tranny tunnel to house the beastly trans.Also a driveshaft change is needed and Mckinney has me covered again. For a simple install you need to rewire and run an R chassis ECU in conjunction to the proper engine. After this you have to decide if it's worth it??? Well if your going for 300-400hp you'd be a retard to do this swap, at those numbers the torque can't really be noticed in comparison to an SR.(I know cause I've had both and know whats up) Lets be real!!! Your not dropping this monster in to make petty power, you wanna make 500+. So now is the time to get real! We know when comparing 2 engines you want results not bs. I have been reading alot lately on the interweb about the differences and peoples preferrence's. It's just that when you stumble on a good piece of info you have the thousand keyboard warriors behind it with usless and unknowing information. When I read Tech talk, I want to read experience not something some dumbass pulled from superstreet mag.
