if you are just replacing the stock engine, lots of shops can do that...

check your local phone book.

just use your Maxima's block....upgrade the internals(fogrged 9:1 pistons and rods)...CR won't be as low as the Z31 block but hell forged 9:1 should take moderate boost levels very well.

are the z31 rods shorter than the max's? im assuming they are and not just the pistons.. i would get some je pistons and z31 rods and you will be boosting your way into the future..
