Project V8 s12 can it be done?

Can a small block chev V8 fit in a 1987 200sx (s12)? Stay tuned and find out! Please tell me how it can't be done so I get more motivation

Where there's a will, there's a way.

I once had a theory that a small block chevy has, at some point, been in every major vehicle ever made.

Hi, yes I believe so, as the S12 came with the CA18ET, the forerunner of the CA18DET. Logically the engine transmission layout would work since, there a small block kits for the S13.

If you run a standalone ECU, and a full kit the job would be a bolt on affair, but not a simple one as there will be differences.

If you are wanting to do this for a small amount of money and use a donor car, it would be alot harder, but not impossible.
