what the **** did you just say?

uhh from what I understand is that you have a spare Y8 laying around, but your friend is offering you a ZC for $700 (which is a rip off). Your car is already MPFI, so there is no concern for the DPFI -> MPFI conversion. ZC will be plug and play, but it's a much older motor vs the Y8, but the Y8 will require an OBD2 conversion which can really turn out to be a PITA. I'm not really sure of how much work it would take for an OBD2 conversion, but since you already have a Y8 laying around - don't fork out the extra money for an older motor.

 

i dont know much but i do have a feeling that the dude up at the top is confused.. anyone else think so or is it just me?
