Do not use Midwest Engines!
Check my link for photo point to see some pics of the engine they sent me and then screwed me by refusing to replace it! They did replace the waterpump though, how nice (sarcasm). I'm in the middle of the rebuild. My advice, get the most complete engine you can for the least amount as possible and simply rebuild it. That way there's very little doubt on its dependability. Gaskets, freeze plugs, thermostat, timing belt, timing belt tensionor pulley, rings, etc. Plan on replacing turbo becuase they won't guarentee it to work anyhow, you're lucky if it does.
Yes My 93 GXE but I also want to buy the engine and the 5 speed manual transmission
Make me one also!

Nice! But listen to this...I am at work and one of our clients pulls up in this old beat up as$ Z31. And I say man that thing sounds like crap. He says "Yeah the twin turbos blew out and I need to replace them" He is a client so I said "ok" but in my mind I was thinking JACKAS$

Why would you want to do this? Don't forget, you have the same engine configuration as a Z31. The same intake runners and the same dual throttle bodies. The only thing that is different is that you don't have a turbo. Why don't you concentrate on turboing the Max instead. It'll come out cheaper.

there's a guy that lives across the street from my sister that's got a wrecked Z31-T... still runs and drive.. it's a 5 spd.. he wants $500 for the whole thing.. if you're SERIOUS about it, send me an email and I'll figure out how to get in touch with the guy..
but if you don't have cash in hand, ready to buy this thing, don't waste my time.

Someone answer me this--->
did Nissan do a manifold swap for the 85-89 Z's?? check out these two engines, first one has the "daul TB" style manifold(ala 3rd gen VG Max) and the other has the "single TB" style manifold(ala 2nd gen VG Max).....any real differences or Nissan just wanted to be creative and make different manifolds??? 
dual TB and post '89 VG "Maxima style" intake-->
