You won't find a 350z motor/trans in a pick and pull.

Especially anything close to "cheap"

Chevy v8s are really narrow. The v8 will be deeper but the v6 will be wayyy wider.

Again, if you're thinking SR, go CA. all the rwd corolla guys are switching to CA's for the weight.

CA18det

Makes pretty much the same power as an SR20, is as light as a 4AGE, and doesn't have the oiling starving issues the SR does.

Oh and a complete motorset is 500 Bux less minimum.
