a friend asked me if i was interested in a sr20 red top thats currently in a sentra se-r. the sentra body has some rot and the owner is getting rid of the engine which is in good condition. is it a possibility to use that engine in my 89 240? im a little in the fog about taking an engine that was transversed and converting it back again. im sure theres a lot of parts and madness involved. any info on the liklyhood of this working would be great. thanks

 

Too many things are different, there was a giant thread about this on sr20forum.com -FWD SR20 site.

 

that would involve putting a transversely mounted engine FWD and putting it into a rwd drive car that would be unreal hard and invole a lot of custom fabbing. you would need to make mounts and a whole new transmission with driveshaft and mounts for it as well. lots of things to relocate too

 

ya the sr series cant without major work be switched to RWD..

the CA can though w00t

 

It'll work.

Is it worth the $ and effort and time? No.

You could... however buy it and then sell it on a Sentra or G20 forum - that's what I'd do Then use that $ and get stuff made for our cars
