Rearwheel drive, 1 turbo, 3000ccs of fun. Would this be a faily easy swap for an S13? Has anyone seen/heard of this swap in a 240sx yet? If its easy maybe we have some much needed RB25DET competition. This front clip is only 1500 from Venus, and i'm sure it would have loads of power.

well, keep in mind that the motor is much larger, and also weighs much more. This car will most likely not handle too well with all the extra weight. The actual swap would probly not be super easy. The wiring would be less then fun. and I think custom mounts would be needed...but i'm not sure on that.

There are a couple of threads from a while back with pictures of 300z motor swaps into some 240sx', I would do a search. Some of them have pics. They were dealing with the twin turbo motors too I believe, that may be a more proven route for competing with the RB series.

However something to be said for being origional and just making it work.
