Getting a built short block, reuse timing chains?

Put in a new radiator also. With 70K on the old one, you have no idea what crap is still in there, plus you can never flush all of it out. In the grand scheme of things, this is dirt cheap insurance.

I'll be sticking with the OEM for now. Until I can find a condenser from another Nissan model that has the same quick disconnect fittings as ours. Then I can weld some mounting provisions to a Koyo.
