Re: swap

all the cars will take a lot of work, but the lightest car to work with is probably a s13 coupe...

Re: swap

an rb25 will not cost that much. Oh yea well if you have someone do it yes. But you dont NEED suspension to have the motor. But its a 240 your going to get coilovers anyways so why does it matter?? The motor should cost around 3-4k depending on who you know or where you go. You will need drive shaft, intake mani, and a front mount i believe to make it all fit?? I dont know, didnt you check those sites out in the other thread you made??? Mckinney should tell you. Atleast they used to tell what all was needed and how much the shit was.

Re: swap

RB25 swaps are fairly simple, we've done many RB's at our shop, and they pretty much all of the same. All you would need for the 25 swap to get it running would be mounts, driveshaft, fuel pump, fans, you can use the stock SMIC. I would reccomend a few extras before you drop the motor, make things easier for you in the long run, ie. clutch, N1 water pump, 3 inch exhaust.
