Say I bought a forged short block motor from a fellow member.
What would I be looking at to have that bad boy installed?
How much would I be able to get for my stock motor with 45K mile son it?


Please advise

 

Of course I'm not a forged motor guru, but since you got a motor before blowing up your original maybe you should keep it for when you get rid of the car.

I've seen some lower mileage stock longblocks going for around $2k, I'm guessing they go at that price since that's the typical core charge. I'd say $1600-$1700 for yours.

Install seems to vary quite a bit..

 

Thanks.
Anone know what would this whole thing should cost me. After I buy a forged motor what should it cost me to have it installed?

Anyone know of a good place in AZ?

 

Most engine swaps in and out seem to run around 16-17 hours....plus a couple more for transferring all the sensors and accessories. Multiply that by your local garages hourly rate should give you a ballpark number. I would solicit a quote from your local 350Z garage expert in your area to verify.

 

Thats not too bad.
Can any of the people who did this just striaght up list or PM me what they paid for EVERYTHING

I would be greatly appreciated.
