I was wondering if anybody could shed some light on the subject for me or give me a good link. I want to know about engine, tranny, good mods, and prices?

um, make sure there is very minimal rust, thatll be the biggest thing. check underneath the car to see how clean it is. the motors are almost indestructable in their N/A form.

as far as parts are concerned, they are pretty easy to find. atleast they were for me. i used this company in california(that is dedicated to Z cars) for all of my aftermarket stuff. i cant remember the name though. if i remember it i will get back to you.
