you'll need rb20 oil pan and pickup, you can use zr200 mounts but custom seems to be perferred as the zr200 mounts locate the engine too high and too far forward, and the pan and pickup will still require modifications but it's the closes fit you'll find

why does the oil pan and pick up need to be modified? is it because of the cross member
