    Whole lotta air being sucked through that tiny air filter. Very clean and cool swap. I'll take two!

    HHHHMMMM for some reason this song came to mind!
    No-go showboat no-go showboat (no-go showboat)

    Well I got a wild custom that wins every show
    But it's a no-go showboat (no-go showboat)
    Yeah but everybody knows that she just don't go
    She's my no-go showboat (no-go showboat)
    White wall slicks with racing mags
    She's just for looks, man, not for drags
    'Cause it's a no-go showboat (no-go showboat)

    No go
    No go

    I'm guessing that he did the swap and skipped the radiator, but decided to go back and replace it after overheating while trying to drive up the ramp of his in-closed show trailer.

    That's a good guess and funny, but I bet he took the good radiator out when he decided to sell it.

    No Go No go No go! That's funny too.

    Yes, it is. The RB26DETT out of the Skyline is a 6 cylinder, but this is an SR20DET.

    Hehe... I was wondering when I saw "16 valve" on the valve cover... I had never heard of an engine with 2.667 valves per cylinder.

    I have no idea what the difference is nor do I care. Why can't they be simple like we 'merians are. 302, 289, 429. They're engine names are too obscure.
    ...and across the line.

    You mean like LS1, LS2, LS6, LT1? At least the SR20DET and RB26DETT actually have their displacement in their proper names.
