The SR20, although a hearty and exciting engine, costs a whopping 2500 dollars. The mount kit into the Z costs another 600 bucks, so I'd be about 3100 in the hole before I even got started with the actual building. Thus, I have decided to ditch the idea of the SR20 and try to locate a 280ZX turbo donor car for a L28et swap. This would leave me more money for trick bits like a big intercooler and decent wheels. I might even be able to swap the L28 into the ZX and recover it for most of the cost.

The swap is also reportedly easier than the SR20 swap, which is great, considering the last swap attempt was basically a massive failure. The odds of success is much better for the L28, especially because I can have a complete donor car.
