183 Vs. 350

ok this has to be the worst fight i ever got in. i told one of my friends about the 280z that i posted about. (still thinking about getting) i told him about how you guys said that you put a 350 block in it and he said that the small wussy 183 (3.0L) would out do the 350 only with headers on the I-6. ok everone else i talked too agread with me and i grew up learing higher displacement ment more potental power (twin 4 barrel carbs., and a BIG blower sticking out of the hood) well this is a point where you can add your coments and i'll give them to him to shut him up. thanks.

Do you seriosly need to ask?














The 350 is the better choice, it is cheaper, lighter, generally more powerful, more aftermarket parts........blahh, blahhh,blahhh

Yes a Nissan inline six can be built up more powerful than an average 350.

The best engine is the RB26DETT.

tru the RB26 is near perfect yet expensive to attain. but for a budget the 302 is lighter than the 350, & just as strong pound for pound. but i'm a Pontiac guy so a 455 7.4L for me, but let's not ignore the Chevy 502

better late than never, right? if you can't afford the RB26DETT you can get either an RB25DET or VG30DETT for a lot less. it may be hard to get as much power as is possible to get from the V8's once they are blown and built but 1000+hp shouldn't really be too hard.
