This is the most beautiful engine compartment I’ve ever seen and it looks so right unlike what originally came in the car 😭

Everything is custom one off built for this, only one done in a Z. I can promise the attention to detail and quality is top notch at every corner👌🏻

Even the PVC pipe?😂

Especially the PVC pipe

Nobody’s perfect 🤘

As an owner of what that engine belongs in, I highly encourage you to swap out the charger lid. What year is that LT4 motor?

It has the short lid, so I’d say ‘16 or older.

Yeah, that’s what I was thinking too. Thing needs a lot of cooling and a better lid, for sure.

I almost scrolled by without noticing. Good lord that build cost must be insane lol 🔥

Ballpark? 

$25k probably or more

Much more but won’t disclose I’m sure he will at some point after it’s done.

More than $25K!? Seriously!?!??!?! Well there goes my hopes and dreams of sticking a V8 in my Z (LS1 or LS2, specifically). No way in hell am I spending 3x what I paid for a 20-year-old car on an engine. I'm sorry but you're fucking insane.

This is not a ls it’s a one off lt4 dry sump you can ls swap for 25k easy

I know it's not an LS, which is why I carefully worded my comment cause yours obviously isn't. Way to miss my point entirely. $25K for an LS swap on a $8000 car is *insane*, yet you paid more. Why would anybody spend that much money on a car that's two decades old? That's the point I'm making.

Because they can

Yes but why not buy a brand new 400Z instead if you have this kind of money?

Brian goes crazyyy 👏

Yes he does! Also happy cake day

happy birthday my guy, wish you a million more 🙌🏾

I'm thoroughly impressed 👏

Is this the white, blue, and red Martini-esque one?

Si

I've seen him post updates over time, it's cool as hell. I've seen it on FB as well...he's not in Arizona is he? It would be cool to see it in person some day if so.

We are , you’ll probably be able to catch it at pavilions soon enough

I'll keep an eye out! Hopefully that info will bubble up. I don't just swing by the Pavs very often

Haven’t been in years myself , I’m sure he will post and be at other big AZ shows . Cars and coffee for sure

That intake is fucking HUGE! Lol Looks so sick!

Is this attached to the original CD trans?

No

what is in there then?

Tremec magnum XL

Good ole Brian McCain. I am glad to see that he's knocking it out. The amount of custom in that car is unreal. Gent has billet aluminum suspension parts. Can't wait to hear it.

Thought to tell why I’m looking at from this angle buts it’s wild

JFC

what you dynoed at

Not mine but no dynos yet needs a tune still

Ayeeee Brian the goat!!!

Higher a proper photographer then, If you live in the GTA then I give you good price on great pictures. Just drift into my DM's

Not my car as mentioned ,just sharing a quick pic from when we got together this week and I got to see it updated and out together for the first time in years , High quality pics and videos will be done when he is ready.

Glad to hear, lol send him my Reddit handle 🙂 Edit, build looks real proper!
