So this guy is selling a bare z6 block for 60, I was thinking of buying it and just building it up from scratch. Any suggestions on this or should I not do it?

seems a little much $ for a bare block. Price out all of the components & accessories and see if it is worth it :thumb:

Well I'm not going to turbo the car, gonna go all motor. I thought it was a good starting point :/, since I cant work on my car(dd) thought I could at least work on building an engine

I'd at least try and find a complete short block, so that you can disasseble it and understand how things go together before you try and build something. Also, if that is a true bare block with no main caps, that block is basically scrap iron because you would have to find caps and line hone that block

I see your point, I'll keep looking, thanks for everyone's opinion
