SR20DE short block with broken head, $?

Recommended Posts

I've had my eye on an SR20 engine out of an early '90s Infinity G20 (front impact, low miles) for a few yrs now. It's at my favorite JY, sitting in a dark corner with a broken cyl head/camshaft from the accident. I can get it for $150 (maybe talk down to $125) as a "core" engine. It has manifolds and injectors, TB, etc., but no computer or harness. I saw another broken (block) SR20DE with intact head at another JY for $100 recently...so, $250 for an SR20DE; is it worth it? BTW, I have a PL510 if it doesn't work in the 240Z. DAW

Thanks Les, I think you're right that I ought to pick it up. I'm thinking that this was a low mileage car, A/T, in the G20 Infinity and I'll bet it is pristine on the inside. I've been looking at CA16DE engines in Pulsars and CA18ETs in 200SXTs and I'm curious as to interchangeability and valve/port size on these heads and the SR20DE head. I wish the SR20DE had a rear sump, for use in an early Zcar, but I'm wonderring if any one has tried changing out crossmembers between 280ZX (or other source) and early Zcar, in order to put the rack & pinion BEHIND the crossmember, in order to run a front-sump pan??
