The worm may turn once the Barras become less accessible. You wouldn't bother dropping in a Barra if it ended up costing the same as a TB48, rebuilt and turbo converted. They are a great engine, those Nissan I6 petrols.
It could be those TB48s are getting shipped to Dubai, they love them there

Factory GT350 mufflers. Not sure if they are bi-modal like the 2018+ Mustang GT's are though?

Which is exactly what AdamLZ did. Built up an NA engine.
