Any Idea how much a Mid Price run would be on a 90 300zx for an engine swap. Looking at one, and if I get it cheap enough and the body appears clean I would like to do this. For some reason I like these cars.

Its currently an Auto v6

Would love to swap into a TT Manual but not sure if its really a smart idea/possible or if its going to run 15k.

Was hoping someone here (Does Koj know all Cars lol) had an idea on a good swap for like $2,000-$5,000.

I can find some nice 300zx TT out here, but most are like 15k-25k.

cheaper/easier to just buy a TT than it is to swap one

usually a decent TT is 6-8k and then really nice ones are 12-15k

While, I would never paint a car that color, I don't actually hate it. Plus I have a C5 so If I get the 300 Ill take the same photo haha

i was j/k with the donation part but those are jdm motors so if you did happen to get one just know youre gonna have to rewire for left hand drive. but at least you would have motor/trans/computer.
