Ok i was gonna get either a rb20 front clip or just the engine with all the goodies that go with it. Most likely clip, but anyways i have some questions. Well for the rb to fit my s14 do i need to push the firewall back to make it fit,do i need to modify the oil pan, are parts easy to get for this car like if something breaks do i need to get all this crap imported or like can i use ka parts. I ask this because i am thinking about swapping to a rb20 by next summer and im saving now and i will have anywere from 4000-5000 to use for the swap and that includes frontclip,tuning,any extra parts,installaltion. So is it possible to do the swap with only my amount of money?

P.S is the rb20 with auto transmission worth swapping since my car is a automatic i mean i could swap out all the front clip parts into my car but i dont wanna have to deal with that because its more money but whatever.

Yes the RB20 will fit w/o mods to the firewall. If you wanna go manual You cant use the hard line or master cylinder from the RB20 so you will have to buy those parts seperatly, also would need to buy a manual driveshaft. And evrything else you can use from the Clip. Yes its possible to do the swap with 5k..hell im doin the swap with 5k and thats including the car and coilovers (then again im doing all the work myself)
