Jen / Ymisqt (sp) has an extra C35 at her home in Springfield with low miles for $325 or something. I think that is worth it currently.

If it was a drop in swap, I'd agree, but that would be almost as difficult I think as trying to use NSX VTEC heads on the standard C35 engine... Next to impossible unless a lot of fabrication goes into it...

Also, think about this...
J swap...

C35 engine... they are 90* of each other.

If I'd go through that much work for a J swap, I'd go ahead and try and swap something with more power than that, but that's me. And after seeing a few write ups. A J32 block with a J35 head works and bolts up, but I'd expect more power out of a swap like that if I did it.

It'll get more VIP when I move into the new house and get settled... sucks you're possibly moving, you could have been a great motivator being my roommate.

As for body wise on the RL, I found a few ideas to help push this thing to the next level... once I start picking up a few parts, I'll let you guys know what happens. :)
