the chevy 350 as well as the 305 are actually not that heavy even when compared to the paper wieght ka24 series engines. I beleve i read that the 350 small block with aluminum heads is lighter than the ka24de with tranny by a small ammount like 35 lbs or somthing. Honestly ive seen a couple vids from canada of a guy with a 350 and a 4 barrel in his his best run at the drag strip was 13.2 so far....sr20det stock turbo with a couple upgrades will do that all day and it is lighter.

I'm still waiting for someone to do a VH45DE swap. It'd be like a Japanese mustang, haha. Damn those Q45s for not coming with manual trannies!

forget weight balance, imagine what one could do with 350 mildly upgraded, or a 327 or 400 small block, wow, maybe a nice lil 302 with one of those inexpensive 6psi superchargers.

centrifigal superchargers are crap tho. a twin turbo setup at 6 psi would be a hundred times more efficent and cost effective and fun!

No, why VH? It aint nothin but a VK thang baby. VK's got a slight power advantage if i remember correctly. Like 60 hp.

seems like a bad project to take off someones hands, but a good idea.

w3rd..its alot easier to drop on a blower and a 4 barrel or two and have it run safely that it is to get a properly running turbo set up. w/o fuel injection especially. the twin turbo in the end would be safer and more efficient/powerful, but its alot of time, work, and money.

I guess this can be related to this post... but has anyone seen any new info on a VG30DETT swap into an S13/S14? I remember reading some stuff about it before but I never followed up on if it was actually a success or not.

I also heard someone put a rotary 13B turbo into an S13... but until I see facts I'm gonna take it as heresay.

I said VH because it's cheaper and more abundant. VK would obviously be cool too. Both would be equally hard to install and nearly impossible to get working with a manual transmission though, so we can keep dreaming.
