I have decided that to do an engine swap or an engine rebuild is really not going to be the right road for at this time. So I have decided I will be putting up the chassis as a whole up for sale. With the money I have saved for an engine swap I could actually save a bit more for another 6 months and buy a very nicely equipped Z in the 15 - 20 k range. Then at least I will know that spending a little extra will get me something with more piece of mind. Thanks to everyone who helped me out with my noob questions. My Z fetish will have to be put on halt for now anyways since my daughter is going to pop out next month.
Regards,
James
