Need 1990 300zx Engine in Southern Ohio

There's a company with facilities in Asheville, North Carolina and Atlanta, Georgia called 'New York Block' that you can get used 300ZX engines out of Japan from. I called them a few weeks ago and they said that the engines they get out of Japan will usually have between 30,000 and 40,000 miles on them. These engines are tested and inspected by 'New York Block' and they have a short warranty on them too. This company will ship the engine to the destination where you're going to have it put into the Z car. There are some laws in Japan that force people to take cars out of service--even when the engines are in perfect working order. It has to do with their strict emissions and accident loss policies. They total cars over in Japan for a lot less damage than we do here in the U.S. They only have a short amount of time to get the engines shipped to the U.S. to get some dough out of them. In short, that's where I would start if I were you. I'd request a 1996 engine though. It should drop right into a 1990 300ZX if I'm not mistaken. Seems like the quote they gave me for a 1990 300ZX engine was around $1,900.00 U.S.D.

The jap imports are definately the way to go, Don't ask for a 300zx motor though, just ask for a VG30 or VG30T if turbocharged. you'll probably have to use your old manifolds as many importers remove the jap manuifolds, You should use the car's origional manifolds/sensors anyway. You may want to swap cams to retain the car's origional profiles. Expect to pay $750.00 to $1000.00 for VG30 (turbo may be more).
