What is blown on the engine? Maybe you can use the block from a 300ZX with your heads? AFAIK the double intake on the 300zx model would be pushing it on our cars.


When i bought my car i had to look for an engine too; but i was lucky and found a secondhand VG30DE (my exact engine). The turbo variant was much easier to find and i regret not going that direction. Alot of the parts importers bring them in for conversions (single turbo engines are cheap/plentiful in Japan).
