Welcome to ZDriver!

If you have $10k-$15k to spend, buy a 300zx Twin Turbo, and use the other $5k-$8k for mods... then you don't need to do a motor swap.

you could buy a pristine low mileage TT for 10k. The key to buying a 300zx is to take your time and wait until you find the one that you know is just right. Don't settle. It took me 4 months to find my Z32.
