indeed you can, just prepair for headach after headach, i have done one rb26 swap into an s13 fast back, and one rb26 into an s14 which also had to be converted to a manual. but if your a slider like me, then the rb20 has pleanty of power to get you movin sideways

how hard is it to find parts for your rb20. i want to swap my s13 ,but im not sure how hard it is to find parts. which makes mean lean toward dual cam ka24det.

RB20 is the left out motor..its not as easy to find parts for that motor as is the SR but, they are out there..you just have to look..i was sliding around after like a week of my SR..the RB, SR, Ca..all can be great power plants
