I am building my first NISSAN V8killer, and I need a little advice. First of all what is the best motor for my car(92 fastback). Is it hard to do the s13 redtop since I already have a manual transmission. I'm not looking to make too many horses right now, maybe 250-300 whp. Finally, where can I get an s14, or s15 frontend conversion(just headlights, front fenders, and hood).

P.S. I need a clutch and transmission, mine is broken.

a V8 killer would be much easier to coem buy with a RB series motor but that to most people is out of the question. I would say the CA or SR to get it done. i would prefer the SR b/c i knwo a lot about teh SR where-as i know jack-ddily about the CA. You can easily put down those numbers with the SR. stock turbo should be able to get you near 250 but i would recommend getting a new turbo. not necessarily something huge, even a S14/15 T-28 would do justice. The fuel system will need to be upgraded though. So if youwant to make those numbers read up on the motors available and find w/e you can afford and like to suite you. the 5spd wont really matter.

as far as teh front-end conversions. i know that GTP international sells the S15 stawberry face conversion in carbon-fiber. im not sure anywhere else to get a complete kit.
