looking for rb30 block

[zinkrb250]

Hey fellas... I have been toying with the idea of starting another project... I've currently got an rb25det installed in my s14 with a few goodies... but I'm wanting something as sort of a side project (i'm about as far as i want to go with the rb25) ... I'm interested in the 3.0 the rb30 has to offer...

Ideally ... this block will sit in my garage on an engine stand and be tore down... bored, honed, new pistons, rods, crank balanced, new oilpump, new water pump... you get the idea... After i was finished with the block i would like to slap an rb26 head on top for various reasons (solid lifters/intake mani, etc...)

My only problem is.... I live in the states.... can't exactly find a VLcommadore anywhere around here.... I'm interested in locating a rb30eT (i'd like it to already have the oil feed/return and water feed/return lines tapped....

Who can i contact in order to have an rb30 shortblock shipped to the states?

thanks

oddly enough, i just removed an RB30 series 2 engine (having all the required oil and water galleries already tapped, just blocked with bolts) from my daily driver. it spun a bearing on number 2 and the crank will need linishing, but apart from that it's all good. i also happen to work for a freight company, so i can obtain a quote for me to ship it to the states if you would like? which city are you in?

i would ship the thing for you for the cost of shipping + $50 AUD if you're interested. the only thing i need off the engine is the timing belt tensioner (for my RB30DET) but they are the same as the RB25 idlers which you have easy access to.

pm me if you're interested,

cheers.
