Best place to buy an RB26?

And $4500 for a clean RB26, I don't think that's far fetch. My friend paid the same amount (some 10 yrs ago however, and he ended up selling it to Tay, which ended up in Tay's own car lol).

Funny, in my head I was thinking $4500 could cover the entire swap, not just the engine

Do you have any idea how much a complete swap would be from Tay's? I haven't heard of the guy until you mentioned him, and my uncle was saying that one of his buddies could do it for around $1500-$2000 for the swap (this includes mounting, custom pipes, etc. but no engine or anything like that). Are those accurate figures? I've never done a swap before, sorry! n00b questions, I know haha

I assume you are wanting to swap this into an old school Z? Either way, i'm not sure what the labor cost will be.

However, Tay did a motor swap for me on a 240sx, it was just taking out the old tired stock motor and swapping in a younger stocker, no custom work whatsoever, my cost was within that $ range (include cost of the replacement motor which was a few hundred bucks). So my 2 cent guesstimate is $2k could be a little light if custom work is needed.

Tay does not advertise on forums, only word of mouth.
