anyone done a BEAMS motor swap before???

V8 240sx? Sure! If either the chassis OR the engine is non-Nissan (i.e. SR20 in an RX-7 or LS1 in a 240sx), we've done it.

okay so i am thinking of leaving behind my KA and going to do a hybrid swap to a toyota motor, the BEAMS motor that comes out of the altezza RS200 and i was just wondering if anyone on here has done it before or has pictures of it done. and what i would have to do to get it under my hood correctly.

BTW....i did use the search button up top.

i highly doubt it, being as that particular engine is about as rare as a gold plated 100 dollar bill with clintons mug on it.

good luck though, i hope you are king midas.

well i have found a few places with the motor and one of them has a ZERO milage engine so i dont know because the prices are in european pounds, but i have a friend that can weld so just in case i need custom motor mounts he would be able to help me out there. but other than that this is a hard engine to source and get info on because all the stuff i find is in japanese.

but i will keep looking and thanks for the encouragement.
