Post Can someone steer me in the right direction?

Wassup ya'll. As you can see, this is my first post so i'm as fresh as a newb can get. well, i'm mainly a honda guy but my friend is selling his prelude because his license is getting suspended. So, we've decided to start on an s14 project for us to work on for the next year or so.

I'm not in a hurry right now but can someone steer me in the right direction where i will be able to find more info on doing an sr20det swap? we've looking for a '95 up shell right now but where can i find a reputable shop that sells front clips? we're planning on doing the work ourselves but don't know where to start. I'd appreciate any comments and advice. peace

i kno, i kno. but i've tried the search and i had no luck . I'm so new at this right now that i don't know where to start. i've found some engine/front clip sources but besides that, i'm pretty lost. i read somewhere that the hardest part was figuring out the wiring. i've gotten a copy of a service manual but that doesn't really help me in modifiying the rhd drive config. to fit our models. hm...

Wiring isn't even really an issue if you have a couple hundred bucks heavy throttle can make you a custom harness out of your ka and sr harnesses.
