well i wound up buying an 89 240sx today............. I am pulling the motor this week and then going to mock up motor mounts for a 13b. i did an sr20 swap in my previous s13 and i didnt really like it. So i am trying something new. This should be quite a fun car since they only weigh 2680 for a base model. Think of how light it will be with a rotary and gutted w/o ac power steering etc. The motor is going to consist of a rather heavy street port, alcohol injection, and an af61r turbo kit from davinci. It will be a blow thru car. i hate efi....... Look for updates by next weekend



Ricky



now taking my two favorite cars..........and combining them



This project will be done in cahoots with davinci motorworks. Cuz they kick ***.

Will make for a very quick road car. A buddy of mine had a FD mounted in his. I might still have a couple pics available of the install.

yes it actually looked like it would fit pretty far back into the engine bay when i measured. the car will be beat to **** tho and will be a race car basically. running skinnys up front and going to try and fit a 26 10.5 et street in back (prolly gonna have to roll the fender lip a bit) That setup looks pretty nice tho. Hwo much did it weigh?
