Do a little research man.

I think that this is in a sticky as well as info posted recently.

BTW. they only make the VE head in FWD and it (without major modification to your car) fit the RWD motor in an "S-chasis" car.

There is no detailed info. There is only one RWD VE in the world. (its NA) It was a custom job done by a shop over seas.

We all know the sr is a great engine and I seriously considered going for the s13 blacktop. But for cost reasons the rb20det floats my boat. Also if I cant do any extensive work other than strenthening the block and upping the boost Id stick stick with the ka for the torque. Weight wasnt that much of a problem for me. I wouldnt even consider stroking the sr yall see how freakin expensive that gets. Now when it comes to upping the displacement to what seems like the destoked rb20... (heavenly music) Much love to the mighty sr
