Re: rb26 swap part list
That's about the hardest swap you can possibly do.
1. You can't just buy a swap. The RB26 only came with a AWD transmission, so you will need to source an RB25 transmission.
2. You'll need to custom fab everything or spend thousands of dollars to get it in.
3. You'll need to custom wire everything or spend hundreds on a harness mod.
4. You'll never be able to get parts off the shelf.
5. Everything else involved with getting an RB into an S chassis, custom driveshaft, engine and transmission mounts, intercooler piping, modifying the trans tunnel, etc.
My recommendation, read, read, read. There aren't a lot of these swaps for a reason. They are hard, expensive, and time consuming. If you don't know how to do your own fabrication and wiring don't get into it without $10k to spend. Even if you can do all that, you'll still need at least $5k.

Hell, the RB is almost $5K by itself.
