sold a nismo, purged debt, bought an audi, bought a 240 and looking at a $25k crate engine when new. doesn't make sense really and the upkeep cost on a Z really that high.

The crate motor cost me next to nothing due to mostly trades on other things I had no use for. From back in my swap meet muscle car days. Also.... I did mention its slightly beat. So yes, some rebuilding is in order but it wont even BEGIN to touch 25 grand lol.

just depends on how beat it is. you never know with projects like that. costs will sneak up and bite you sometimes.

thats true. But im pretty optimistic. The guy is a long time friend and I doubt he would rip me off. Ive seen the motor run, he has it in a firebird at the moment. Its just retarded. With tubs and a good hook its has dropped into the 9 second range. He doesnt actively race it, its a street car that he takes to the track a couple few times a year. But as we all know.... that doesnt account for highway beatings lol.
