Best place to buy an RB26?

I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around doing an LS swap. My mechanic is actually trying to convince me to do a 2j swap. But I'd really just like to keep it in the Nissan family.

I'm doing the swap myself so not sure on $$$. I'm REALLY lucky, my neighbor owns a shop here in Chicagoland and him and I spend most weekends drinking beer and working on our own projects in the garage. Plus, I worked for my father years ago at his auto restoration shop so I have experience too. I don't think $4500 is bad for the RB26 motor though. I think I may shy away from the RB26 and go RB25. Can probably get similar results with a single turbo and less problems down the road

I'm a bit amped up today too! I just ordered an air compressor and picked up all the air tools I needed to start getting down to business on my S30 project!!

good info in this thread guys...thanks!!
