hey, ok i did this swap in both a 1993, and 1987. for the 87 you need a different drive shaft (z23 motor or something). it will need to be cut depending on where you want your engine mount's yoo be. also a new cross memeber will need to be done. the wiring is the same, if your using stock engine mounts, DO THE CLUTCH before install because to do a clutch again that motor has to come back out. also watch your torsion bars and make sure you can close your hood. also do the fuel pump and if the motor in on a a bit of a slant its not that big of a deal had that happen in the 87. the motor was the best in the 93 it had a lsd but only 1 tire spun and it had power. i put it into a 1987 with 4 wheel disk and 4:10 posi rear...... had lots of torque but just a s*** truck all the way around. just by a 240sx if you want the sr20... if not take the 5 grand that its going to cost to do the swap.... build a small block and enjoy the 750 whp it gives you.
