The OP may have just been ready to get rid of it. I almost sold my Z as is for $10k just to get it out of my face when the motor blew. Luckily I came to my senses lol.

These numbers are way off. But, I must say if you can afford to step up from a stillen supercharged 370z to Godzilla then more power to you. However, just so the community knows.

Low mile used engine: 1-3K
Labor to install, back to stock: 1k
Recoup the cost with selling sc parts: around 4K
Post salvage reliability: unknown (who cares, sell it)
Potential to sell with salvage engine: zero issues, nobody would know its not the original engine.
My time spent thinking about it: priceless
Decision to get out of it for another ride: no brainer (because i get GTR)
