Time for a new engine

Zauskycop · 11-05-2017, 02:27 PM

Well, many of you may know that last year in the One Lap of America, I either blew a head gasket or warped a head. After consulting with a few people, it seems that just putting a new engine in is the best route rather that pulling the old and trying to fix it (Time and cost wise)and maybe finding additional problems..which I understand.

I originally was going to put a built motor in but I have been discouraged from doing so if I am going to remain NA, which I am. I'm just going with bolt on parts to try to get the Z closer to those damn Mustangs and Camaros. So with that thought in mind I have decided to buy a new Nissan engine.

...which leads to the question. Are there any dealers, shops, etc, that I can purchase an engine at a better price than my local dealer? I have someone to install it, but first I must purchase. Where can I get the best price?

TIA
