zx turbo in z.. donor car or new motor?

So far any donor 280zx turbo I come across seem to be around $1500 best price.  Never sure the shape of the motor, plan on updating the turbo anyway, and apparently my current 5spd trans and ecu can be used easy enough.   So am I still better off with a donor car or should I just look at a remanufactured crate type engine that comes with a warranty for around $900 and just put new parts around it?

 

I'm not all that interested in parting out a donor to make money back either... though I guess I'd consider it.

 

Are there parts I'd get from the donor I could really use that I likely wouldn't get from just buying a fresh motor?
