As far as I know the tunnel may have to be massaged to clear the starter. But have you not seen any RB26 240sx pics? Nobody pushes back the firewall.

no, the best motor is the engine that is in the car from factory.if you have NO experience with any kind of motorsports (which it sounds like to be frank) then tossing in an engine into a car which you dont know how it will respond in a drift situation as you are a beginner is a foolish idea.get some decent suspension and a vlsd to start with, then once you start to develop your technique consider more power.
