you can plant any motor you want in that car....if you have the money for it...it can be done...here is a list of good starters to look into...RB25 , RB26 , ka24de , SR20 , 4AGE , LS1 ..ect ect...and yes..some motors require modification to fit...best thing to do is plan out a power goal and try to find the best motor to reach that goal.

easiest, another ka-e.personally, id do a dohc swap. minor mods, mostly just wiring. almost identical as a 240.next would be the qr25, but i think that requires more mods, and i dont really like that motor

youll have to get comfirmation from someone else, as ive never personally did this swap. but from what ive seen, its the same as doin it to a 240, but you want the motor outa another truck(frontier)
