2JZ VVT engine swap in an Early A Body?

Triumph Motorcycles? lol I get you though

275 HP at the wheels is a joke for a mild-built 360 with mostly stock parts just sayin'. BUT you can't just crank up the boost when you want more unless you build the whole bottom end for it and then still it's argued that the max HP an SBM block can hold is 6-700. I'm going the G3 Hemi route myself (eventually), they'll hold 1500 HP with just some drop-in forged pistons and better rods if it's a 5.7L plus you get way more torque and HP with less boost (and a lot more low-end) compared to a 3.0L inline-6. Just thinking out loud not trying to convince you one way or the other.

And that’s a nice setup. Nothing like the sound of a v8 on boost. I do love that sound. But I’m thinking sleeper status. Just find a valiant and leave the body alone. Nice interior and never pop the hood. Just run around bashing mootangs and slowmarows and junkvettes. I do have a 360 block that’s bored out and stroked to a 408 but by time I buy heads and the rest of the stuff I’m sitting at a pretty hefty loss in my wallet. So I’ll save that for when I have the cash for a truly monster build on a car I won’t mind cutting inner fenders. I’m still newish to the Mopar world on old cars as I’ve always been a 64-66 fairlane guy. But now that I’ve seen the light, I’ll stick with my dodges since I’ve owned about 8 of them now (98 and newer sadly).
