My friend wants to buy my engine, could the s13 engine ever fit in a sentra?? What about transmission?

Not in a FWD configuration. In RWD configuration, maybe, but the chassis would probably need a lot of tweaking. If he really wants a KA, he should look towards the Altima's KA. It would be a much better fit, but I don't know if the swap would be easy or not. No telling if axles would bolt up, or if custom ones are needed, etc. Why not do an SR20DE instead? This has known parts available.

I dont know why he wouldn't want the sr20de. But he said he knows someone that can mount the engine the same way as it is in the s13? I really dont know what he's talking about.

the sentra's not an FR, without some MAJOR chassis work, it will be impossible to fit that motor properly. The sentras used to race in the SE-R class stick with the FF setup. It's unfeasable (and impossible to stuff it in the hood non-transverse) to do it. But sell it to him and let him figure that out on his own :D

Oh of coarse im going to sell it to him because im not going to do anything with the engine after sr20 swap. So im not losing anything.
