So what do you put in the hole? RB26DETT? 2JZ? LS?

For me, I feel like something Japanese is a pretty safe option (the safest being an RB, of course) though an inline-six from a BMW would be cool–or you even go way out in left field (for America, at least) with a Ford Barra.

A V8-powered Skyline would be pretty neat, too.

I knew I was forgetting something.

In a similar vein, why not a Vortec 3500/3700 or another inline-five from Audi or Volvo? (Heck, if you want to go inline-five and still keep it Japanese, there's always the Honda G20 and G25.)

Only if its going to be fitted with an automatic transmission.  Pontiac 400 with a manual.

The proper answer will always be LS for me. 

This seems deserving of a nice LS7. Something like this seems appropriate.

Good thing he wants $10k...

Way too close, and a friend with a RB26DETT sitting in his garage...
