mattyice Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Now here comes the hardest part of my hybrid Z, finding a reputable company to buy a motor and tranny with everything else needed that is in great condition...Can some people help me out here and give me some good leads on places i could begin to look?

mattyice Posted February 22, 2008 Author Share Posted February 22, 2008 now would you say the better buy would be a front clip to make sure i get everything i would need? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dayz Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 I feel like I am always here Lol...I would guess buying a front clip and selling the pieces you don't need is a cheaper way to do it...unless you are going standalone and custom everything.

scottyMIz Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 got mine from nagaska motors price was good engine was great except something fell on the intake during shipping. I didn't care since i was gonna make my own intake for it anyway. Hey triple whatcha doing with that intake? still got it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattyice Posted February 24, 2008 Author Share Posted February 24, 2008 ive been talking to Racer98 about his builder motor so thats what i will most likely go with and ask him about getting everything else for me once the motor is ready Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triple B Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 got mine from nagaska motors price was good engine was great except something fell on the intake during shipping. I didn't care since i was gonna make my own intake for it anyway. Hey triple whatcha doing with that intake? still got it? no unfortunatly i do not have it anymore. i switched to a Greddy/Trust intake manifold and i think it was mixed in with the last bunch of aluminium i took to omnisource in bay city. i still have the injectors and throttle body and some misc Z31 parts around the garage i have to clean it to take an inventory waiting for it to warm up a bit so i can push the car out and power wash & degrease the engine bay and clean the garage out and power wash the floor . then its time to mount the engine i have a buddy thats going to fab a T4 flange exhaust manifold for me. he makes manifolds for AMS in chicago ( also where i am takin the car to get tuned). sorry to thread jack :icon29: but remember avoid osaka motors in canada Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
