I found an engine! It's from a wrecked 2013 370Z w/ 7AT (so I get the flywheel too) from a local salvage lot. Only 5K miles on the donor car and it's (probably) not damaged from the wreck. Assuming everything goes smoothly (which should be obvious right off the bat and covered by the salvage lot's parts warranty), it's damn near a brand-new engine. Just a hair under $3K after tax and delivered.

The block should get dropped off at Baker sometime Monday, and Jason will be dropping it in and moving over the various bolt-ons next week. Then it will need a quick dyno-tune to make sure my UpRev settings are ok on the new block (not sure where yet), and I'll need to put it on my mini-lift and go over everything carefully to make sure I'm comfy trusting the car, and then hopefully back on track for June 21-22 @ MSR-Houston and June 28-29 @ COTA.
