Alright so here's the deal; I have a stock early 260z with a blown engine. It's a total loss so i need to replace it (obviously). So, I figured if I'm gonna spend the money on a new engine I might as well get a good setup. I've been searching and searching on here and other sites for weeks now while at the same time lurking Craigslist to see what's out there. While I was still gathering info I came across a mn47 for sale on craigslist and jumped on it just in case.
The goal for the car right now is to get it running with enough power to be fun (as affordable as possible) and put the rest of what money I have into the suspension. I'm not looking to do any machine work or anything like that I just want to find a good combination of stock parts that will work together and be fun.
I already have round top su's (and would like to reuse them in the interest of saving money) and a mn47 head and there's a guy locally selling a 75 280z engine that I could get the block from.
My question is do you guys think this would be a decent cheap setup or would I be better of selling the mn47 and going a different rout? The threads I've read about the mn47 and flat top l28 have made me shy away from that, which is why I was thinking about going with dished...
Any input/ suggestions are appreciated.
