Hey all, I'm looking for a ZHP with a bad engine. I found the PERFECT candidate for an s54 swap about a year ago, but ended up getting a steal on a ZHP engine with 26k miles on it. Car was immaculate and the swap went great, but I miss the car like crazy and wish I would've gone s54. I've been looking on searchtempest and here every day, but I know some of the mafia'ites have a great eye for finding ZHPs. If anyone runs across one, could you please let me know? Thanks! Must be a sedan and clean title. Auto/manual doesn't matter.

A running car is significantly more than one without a working engine, even if you factor in selling the old motor. M54's aren't worth much...Originally Posted by slater

It's not the car you drive, it's how you drive it.

they're worth something. and a running car is a lot easier to find than a clean car with a dead motor. you could be waiting two years to find one.
it's only money. you'll make more...

Looks like an interesting restoration project is about to happen

Ditto. Sure I could spend more for a running one and sell the engine but I'm okay with waiting and I think it's a lot more rewarding in the end to find just the right car for the swap!

Budget?

No limit as long as it's a fair deal. My last car was about as nice of a ZHP roller as could be had, so I know about what I'd like to pay but I'll consider anything.

I thought price was a concern? If it isn't, then I'd just buy any ZHP that tickles your fancy and go the route Peter suggested.

Haha I guess it's all in my head! Price really isn't an issue, but I would have a hard time justifying the cost of a perfectly good running ZHP just to take the whole drivetrain out and sell it for a loss. Ultimately that may be the best option though, as it's proving to be very hard to find what I'm looking for. Should've gone s54 last time
