Nissan GT-R Crate Motor?

Now THAT'S a crate engine....

Far from your standard LS series crate motor, engine builder Cosworth is about to release for sale their version of the VR38DETT.

Price?? Unknown but its sure to be pretty hefty. Cosworth supplies engines to four F-1 teams as well as the engines to Nissan Motorsports GT-R, four car effort in Europe within the FIA GT1 series (which does NOT use the GT-R's engine, instead using a naturally aspirated V8).

So at least you get a world class engine build for whatever the price might be and performance from the engine is anticipated to be a significant jump from the already substantial (to say the least) 485 HP and 434 ft. lb. of torque.

Now if only someone would drop one of these puppies in a Trophy Truck...
