Question NSX J Swap?

I was surfing the web last week and ran across this build on another site. Google it and you'll see. Very interesting what I've learned about our J motor after reading the build. There's actually two swaps in progress but one is very detailed about his work and does a thorough job explaining it all.

Ive seen a few online, in particular on NSX prime. Personally, if it were to blow an engine i would stick a J in one. Lighter, about 15k cheaper, could turn it into a 3.7 as well make more HP and torque for far much less, less maintenance and cheaper. With a little work it could rev to near 8k so you wouldnt loose all of the beauty of that engine.

I just read through a thread on Prime. That guy should really stroke it to a 3.6 at least. It looks like it had lots of room under the hood (trunk) and near the firewall. He could do a nice big IM, mdx spacer, big TB and headers.

If he made a custom exhaust, that thing will get close to flying... that car is not heavy to begin with and the -140+lbs and 30 hp increase from good headers will make it rock that much more..
