And post back how your swap goes, ill be doing mine as well hopefully and I;ll need all the tips and advice i can get. And if you can find an old issue of project car magazine they swap an sr into an s13. They also have lots of other good info on the swap and performance parts.

Good luck with Ebay, the majority of people who get motors off ebay end up regretting it. Your asking to get ripped off, Ebay is a very bad place to buy engines.

It may cost a little more, but getting a motorset from one of our sponsors or another reputable dealer will save you a lot of time and head pain.

Make sure you research them, Ive heard some bad stories about their stuff.

Edit// I did a little digging and I turned up a few random unhappy customers due to: missing parts, non working parts, bad shipping/packing. Nothing to bad, but what worries me is the complete lack of happy customers, I was not able to find one single person who was totally happy with the transaction.

Be careful.
