For the money you would spend on the motorset, transmission, and fabrication to install you could really embarass those mustang/camaro guys by smoking them in a 4cyl car. If you still have the stock KA you could use the would be "motor swap money" and rebuild it, or build an SR20, or even a CA18. It's not very impressive to beat someone's camaro with an LS1 in a 2600lb car( though it's impressive to make one fit) but it's embarassing to beat a mustang(3.6 or 5.0) with a 2.0litre. But on the other side a 240SX with a V8 has a way bigger "cool factor"
