Hey guys, everytime I need help you guys are always here to give me some info. 😃 Well anyways, what is better buy a new engine for about 2k or have one rebuilt for 5k? I went to Sumaru’s and told Reg that I wanted to rebuild my engine and he just told me to buy a new one. Other than the price, why would he suggest this?

What kind of Z do you have? If its a Z32, there is no way a _new_ engine is only $2k CDN.
A brand new Z32 long-block has been known to cost in the range of ~ $8000+ if memory serves!

Bah!.. I’d rather have my existing engine rebuilt. I’m sure you could do a budget plan less than the ~$5k you were quoted.
If you are serious about a possible rebuild option, contact Ray at EC Automotive on 118ave.
