You might swap skyline engines into 240SXs, or build drag cars (background of pics).

That swap is looking nice. I like the custom mounts, is that polyurethane? I'm in favor of keeping stock twins. Good luck.

Looks like Mckinney mounts to me. Nice looking swap so far, Keeping the Stock twins? or going for bigger and better things.

I actually got the motor off of ebay from a kid in california that was going to swap it into his 240 but crashed it and gave up and sold me his R33 rb26 for $2600 plus $400 to ship it to my house. I detailed the motor when i was preping it, I have a progress thread on racebread. and im running an R33 rb25det 5 speed transthat i got for $1100 from JDM engine corp out of texas.heres the link to all my progress: http://forums.racebread.com/index.php?topic=1637.0

im still waiting for my mckinney mounts to arrive and i havent seen any instructions floating around, but you didnt need any parts like the ka trany/engine mounts (or other) to install your mckinney kit did you?

im a bit scared myself as it looks like i wont be able to keep my ac if i want to use my fal 210 (pullers) fans

[BOOMSHAKALAKA]

Very nice! Good job

[gawdzilla]

nope the kit came with the motor mounts and transmission mounts so all you need is a s13/s14 and and RB and your fine but you will have a big problem running puller fans cause i have the low fal fans and there was no way in hell they were going to fit and run as pullers. i accidently bought the 220 fal fans and i had to but the pusher fan blade replacements cause i would had to wait 4 weeks to exchange them so i just got the blades from summit for $20 ea.

wow that motor belong there.

[minivan_don]

no way!!! i wanted to keep my ac at all costs :S

ive thought of a few options:

1) remove the ac condensor and run the pullers on the front side of the rad ... pros - hits the fmic when sitting cons - no direct air movement IN the engine bay.

2)notch out the front crossmember after some reinforcements and see if i can mount the fans the regular way

3) same as option 1 but use pusher fans if that will help... if any ...
