I have a 1995 Infiniti G20 with the sr20de and standard trans. i see on the head the identication " 94Y" . Long story short, the bottom end it bad so i bought a new engine from a 1999 automatic Sentra i THINK. Identification on the head is "2J2" and is from Japan with no EGR. I already noticed ALOT of differences in the intake and exhaust manifolds, valve cover ect. so i already pulled my engine and started swapping the parts over. Any thing i need to know? i swapped my distributor over because mine has 2 plugs and the one on the new engine has one... dont know what problems i might run into so thought id ask!!

thanks

Well based on the information you have posted, the G20 still has the factory lowport USDM motor. The head identification you have posted for the sentra engine is a Roller Rocker motor, most likely JDM as there is no EGR. That is the reason for the different valve cover as it uses different cam profiles. Seems like you are on the right track by swapping everything from your engine over to the new one. You may also want to swap over the TPS as well.
