Engine swap or sell???

I was wondering if i should swap out a 300zx turbo engine into my max or just go buy a 300 zx. I could definatly get 5,000 for my max and get a 300 zx for that price. but would it be worth sellig my max or what can i do to get turbo? i searched the forums because I know all of yo have your claws out ready for some newbie , and im no newbie. I tried searching DAMAX's site and to no luck, but i was impressed with the specs from a stock tt 300zx. let me know what you guys think.

Buy an extra car

I say just keep the max and buy a Z. To do the engine swap your going to spend close to $2-3k already. Just buy the Z and keep the max as a work/beater car. The Z's do require more maintence and are more expensive to repair. While the Z32s (90-96) have more stock power they are in the $6000-15000 for the TT models. The Z31s (84-89) turbo models can be had for $1000-6000 and are easier/cheaper to upgrade/fix.
