i know there are a million of these posted, everyone wants to know how to do it. what exactly do i need to make an rb26 work in my s13? i've heard all kinds of stuff, custom oil pan, gauge cluster replacement, sway bar s***, but honestly i'd like a for sure yes or no on what's required. i know i need custom mounts, i assume a new radiator, and i know the custom throttle bracket, no big deal. but what else do i need? i plan on going with the rb25 transmission, though i heard some guy say he used a z32 or something like that, what transmission is that anyway? g35? 350z? i dunno, supposedly it's better, beats me though. so what do i need? any help is appreciated, and if anyone wants to know of any problems i run into i'll be glad to take detailed pictures and make notes to help the process become more doable for everyone else.

HI,here is a link to our photo album. We have swapped an RB26 into 90 s13. I drive it daily. In fact we just took a 500 plus mile road trip this week in it to the Hot Rod Power Tour, felt like a complete misfit. anyway. here is the link if you are serious about your swap and want to call me during the week about questions feel free or just send an email.
