I saw this swap done once, and I was just wondering if it was like doing the sr20det swap...motor mounts, wiring etc...

Virtually identical, an S13 engine is an S13 engine as far as the physical mounting is concerned KA, CA, SR, they are all front sump, and all have the same gearbox (although bell housing is different)

CA18DEt's need custom motor mounts, the engine crossmember has to be reversed ( or a custom rear sump made ), custom sway bar, custom gearbox crossmember.
