I'm looking around for the best way to do this. and wondering if you wonderful people have some places i should look for the components.

Should I get a front clip or just the engine parts?If i get just the engine parts I want to convert the front end through a conversion kit...is that a good idea? cleaner?

I'm looking at http://www.flashoptions.com for the engine/front clip

Afterdarktuning has a s13 conversion kit for $1000 is that smart to do and just swap out my engine with the SR20DET?

My engine will be ( didnt but it yet) the DOHC 240sx fastback engine. I guess thats the SR20 rwd right? i heard the SR20DET s13 engine is just a replacement and most of the stuff will work with the stock SR20 parts that are in it.

ok i'm done i'll ask more when i learn more. thanks!!

...it works wonders;)

i'd stay away from flah options, as some mebers have had horrible experience with them, but some have had great experience with them...

you can get a front clip, this will ensure that you have everypiece for the engine swap, but yur not garenteed body piece, and if you do get them, there is a great chance there are heavily damaged, but some times you get lucky.

yes, the SR is a direct "bolt in" swap, with minimal fabrication needed
