Dunno why you'd use something like the prehistoric castiron VH block when you can use a lighter all-alloy VK56DE

the titan engine with a nismo supercharger would be the way to go if you wanted to keep it in the family... expensive compared to an LS1, but definitely sweet.

god I want one to jam into a Nissan Gloria or some sweet little sedan/cruiser.

The VH engine is also all alloy... the VK56 lost VCT got lower compression and a longer stroke... not good if ur after a high revving sports car type oriented engine... if u were after something for a burnout car then perhaps it would be a goer..

The biggest thing is cost and availability...

Very doable - all the examples of where it has been 'done', however, and all RWD vehicles. The topic is specifically about a gts4.

What with all that 4wd gear, and a different bell housing (is my terminology correct?), its more than a little different.

Cant you get the VH41DE in a 4wd version ie it must have the correct sump etc a 4wd application?

It might be the way to go if you want 4wd V8 instead of this idea over head valve (push rods) 2 valves per cylinder is performance.

OHV 2 Valves per cylinder should have died many years ago but GMH are a bit dim.

I n asnwer to your question with someone that would be willing to fabricate the parts needed yes you could do it, finding that person that will do it for a reasonable price would be near on impossible.. i have the gear to do but do not have the time nor the money..

If I was going to do something like this, how about a Toyota 1GZ-FE ?

V12, 5.0 litres, quad cams, all alloy. It would be like having two RB25DE engines side by side. The engine length would be very similar, so the 4WD sump might come pretty close to fitting with just an adaptor plate.

The Toyota V12 is very similar in design and construction to the well known Toyota alloy V8, but with four extra cylinders. It is supposed be a very well built engine, ideal for high Rpm. With a few modifications it would howl like a Ferrari, and make a pretty unique car.

    • See, that button sounds like perfection Duncan! My eyes really don't like light shining at them from a dash when I'm driving. Being part red colourblind, I've found for most cars that I can change colours on, I set everything to red, so my eyes see the elast amount of colour! I miss normal gauges in cars
    • bro, knowing the Japanese in  the 90's, i wouldn't be surprised if they shared components across their model lineup.
    • Maaaan so many "little" things  i rly hope my old RB20 would be "ok" and not too bad. I try to learn what and what not do i need. I look at crossmember at it looks different...even parts numbers are different. Wiring and all that i rly do not know...yeah someone mentioned the speedo thing. On that yoke clip. I rly do not know what can and cant be done "custom" so that is why iam asking to know and not be suprised 🙂  I know what it looks like  
    • Oh, there's also the gearbox crossmember which will probably be different between the small box and the big box, and the wiring loom will probably need to be modified, because the plugs for the switches etc, will probably be different. And I think the speedo on the small box R34s is from somwhere stupid, like the diff, possibly, so you'd need to work out what needs to be done about that (assuming it is different). I think the thing you need to realise is that the front end of that yoke is a large hollow tube with splines on the inside that mates with the splines on the box's output shaft. It is a dedicated thing - not available "aftermarket". They were made to suit that box, by the car's OEM.
