I have a 1990 S13 that came with the SOHC, 5spd. I'm trying to swap in the DOHC motor, but the drive shaft doesn't seem to fit. It looks like the bolts are getting in the way. Any ideas? I'll get some pics up soon.

it might take a little massaging but the driveshafts are the same except you cant use an auto driveshaft on a 5 speed. are you sure the driveshaft is all the way in the back if the transmission?

it turned out to be the black dust cover that comes on the S14 trannys, it got in the way of the bolts on my S13 driveshaft. thanks though
