ATKengines.com is okay, used them once before for a friends engine. Z1motorsports.com sells complete engines but they can be on the pricey side. Since you are here in Texas, try insuranceautoauctions.com to check out local Texas Insurance auto collision to purchase. I've purchase a few complete Z32's for as little as $400.

Good luck with the project. Going TT or staying NA?

BTW - What part of Port Arthur you in? You guys got a Z club going in around that area yet?

Thanks for the help man, I've seen you around and know you know alot about Z's.

I'm gonna stay N/A, my Z is unfortunately a auto, and doing a TT convert takes alot of time and money. I also don't think anyone around here knows how to do it.

This is my first car so I'm just trying to work on making it look good and be reliable. As for Z clubs down here, we have one, it's nothing crazy like up there in Dallas and San antonio but it's cool none the less. Have you been to port arthur?

Yup, been there a few times. Very nice. It's Texas' little inside get-a-way.

Shoot me a call sometime, I am always involved in the Z clubs events. Maybe we can get you folks to come down and hang for some event some time or visa versa. If you ever need some help on it, feel free to shoot me a call. BTW, there is a really good how-to on Twinturbo.net about how to pull the engine.

Alright, thanks man, No doubt I'm gonna swing by there once I have my Z looking better, well actually it looks great I'm very nit picky and stuff. The cosmectics that need work are by the door area and the c pillar, the part that eventually turns silver instead of the original black. Other than that car looks fine cosmeticaly, oh wait, I'd prolly need to look into getting JDM tails and stuff like that but that's nothing to major.
