Hello--Welcome to the Forum--Looks like your missing a couple things--You need to figure out how your going to mount it in the car--motormounts. I would get a one piece drive shaft made. You will need to fab/find a down pipe and find a intercooler. Look in the Engine forums under RB--there is enough expertise and FAQs to get that thing going in no time.

Good to see another person has found the right motor for their car!

I would check the CA forums.But from what I know KA, CA & SR all use the same mounts.

The Side mount should work but its tiny..Why dont you go for a FMIC?If you want a bigger side mount go for the RB side mount.

The only benifit to the ca woould be cost and ease of installation. Stick with the RB!
