Wrong forum. 86 200sx is RWD platform. 200sx in the section is FWD.

Not only that, but it's not NEARLY that simple.

S12 200SX's still classify as being in the CA forum - they came with CA18ET's and CA20E's.

As for swapping heads, its close enough to impossible to not be worth the cost/effort. You'd likely spend more doing that than swapping engines.

If you search (probably in the archive search vs recent) you can find where a few have put CA18DETs into S12's, other than doing alot of wiring to get it working there's not much fancy to do, other than maybe transmission/motor mounting stuff, can't recall exactly.
