Look at the weight of the truck......2100lbs.

Thats 1400 pounds less than a Camaro.

Thats easily good for a 1-1.2 sec......

I blew up the 2.4L in the nissan and had a 3.8L that I had pulled out of a 97 camaro with only 40,K on it . Needless to say I can out pull the old 2.4L and it moves like a Z . I put the smack down on my buddies 3000 Gt last night and a Neon pulled up beside me tonight and boy was he surprized

cool makes sense, just kinda odd if someone went out and picked up a 3800 motor, when a 4.3L probable would have been a little better and have more potential.

Sweet truck I love unusual swaps, hehe I kinda want to put a 5.0 in the camaro, and put my 3.4L in an older RX7
