Well, I have a '99 3000gt with the 6g72, and it is a sohc with 181 hp stock. In my opinion it is VERY underpowered for being such a beautiful car. The front end, sail panel, and rear center tail light on my car only came on one year... that is the only reason I bought the car. Because it is so rare. There is only 1 thing I can do with this engine (without major fabrication) I can put a expensive ass supercharger on it, but I don't think the horsepower to money ratio is very good

i have been doing some digging online and i think ive come up with a cool hairbrained scheme *gruns evily* turns out teh wheelbase of the duster is the same 97.2" as a 3000GT. this being said, i have been debating about getting a VR4 engine, tranny, rear end and driveshaft, and fabbing the rear end into my duster. there is one snag though, the engine in my car now is 180 degrees off froma 3000GT engine install but i thnk i can modify the engine mounts to fit the rotated engine, and since the front suspension and such would remain teh same, all i would have to do there is flip the axles. and iwth the help of a machineinst and machine shop i know of, put in the rear end/driveshaft. once done with proper ECU and gauges, i wouls have 320 HP DOHC in a car that weighs only 2700lbs or so, a good 1000lbs lighter than a 3000GT (plus the 6 sp tranny topping at 184 mph :-D)
any thoughts on this mod? thanks
