Or are there other major differnces, such as Turbo position and intake manifold size that prevent them from fitting into the RWD 200sx.

And does the g/box from the USDM 240sx fit an SR20? I thought they used a non SR motor, that came from small truck or something?
First of all the block castings are indeed different. The RWD block will not bolt up to a FWD gearbox. I'm 98% certain the mounting bosses for engine mounts and other things are different as well.

The plenum and TB will be facing the wrong direction.

This is just for starters, but I'm tired (been working 10-12 hours a day for a while) and am trying to get through all my mail/forum info.

Jason (G-Forces) is absolutely correct.
