Alright...so I'm pickin up an s13 for crazy cheap and it is the ultimate candidate for a swap in my mind. I'm pickin the car up for $1,000.00 and the chasis only has 80,000 miles on it.

What I need right now is someone who is VERY knowledgeable in the entire SR20 swap process...I need to know everything that I am going to need to do before I pick up the engine, when the engine arrives, etc. Thanks a lot and thanks for the knowledge.

my advice is order a front clip from a reputable company u get what u pay for. go ahead get new motor and tranny mounts. upgrade radiator. if u arent good at wiring get heavy throttle to lengthen you wiring harness. im hungover and cant think im sure the rest of u have stuff to add

thats a lot to ask for. i'd say find someone who's done it already and get them to go through some steps that might cause you some trouble

That's what I figured, does anyone know a decent swap guide that would do the job? Yeah, I'm getting the motor from J-Spec Auto, so it's good stuff. I'm just so hyped about it, I don't want anything to go wrong. Thanks guys, keep the advice coming.

BTW I'm very knowledegable on the cars, but it's my first time doing a swap on one and want everything to go flawlessly, thanks again.

Also, how much could I get for the KA in the car? It's got 108,000 on it, but a totally rebuilt head. Runs great, Idles fine, etc. Thanks.
