Hey guys, so im fairly new to working on cars , really only done small repairs. i bought a 240sx fastback shell and plan on doing a engine swap. the engine in the car now is junk and i have plans on swapping it out with a sr20det engine and transmission from jdmracingmotors.com . i have never taken out a engine before and was wondering if there is a sight with instructions. or if i could get them here. I am 17 and am really new to working on cars but i love it so any advice would be appreciated

Hey bubb, Before this thread gets locked look at the stickies above in this forum on swaps. Search Google. There are thousands of sr swaps and info search for sr/s13 swap threads in this sight. But mostly you'll need the motor, replacement gaskets, new pumps maybe, rebuilt alt, belts, check compression, uncut harness<--important, there are a lot of things you will need and search for as much as you can then post asking for specific info that you cannot come up with also check out Rawbrokerage.com I think is the site url. They have alot of info and engines also I think there may be some dvd's on this swap I can't remember though

search to dodge the flames
