The purpose of me posting this was NOT to talk about aftermarket potential, NOT about V12 vs LSx, and NOT for people to say that "it's not worth it"
Come on guys, I know all this already, what it takes, the consequences, the parts availability, etc etc etc. I just wanted to talk cars with people...

It is just an engine. Piston engines are all pretty much the same, plus or minus cylinders.

Well.... not really. how is a boxer flat 6 engine similar to a Chevy 350ci V-8 OTHER than both having similar pistons? The block is different, the heads are different, the "tuning" knowledge you need for both is WAY different. I love my 13B, but I also hold respect for certain piston powered engines, such as the K20A Honda engine, the Porsche/ Subaru boxer engines, the 2JZGTTE toyota supra engine, any V12 because its bad ass, and Ferrari V-8's because of how lovely they sound. A lot of piston engines are not all that great, but please remember that a 1.9L 4 cyl that came in the ford escort is nowhere in the same league as a Honda VTEC or Toyota 20Valve 4AGE, for example.
