A noob with some ?'s

Hey guys, i recently helped my buddy put in a det in his sentra. It went in farily easy and so i bought a 240. i am on the verge of buying a black top. My ?'s are, i know he can go to the store and pretty much get wat ever he needs for his motor, would i have that same option?? And his motor went in farily easy, easier than expected, I've heard RWD det's are eaiser to install, wat do you guys thnk?? Any info would be appreciated, thanks alot!!

Dustin

RWD = motor straight with the car
FWD = motor side to side
So RWD would be easier. If your wanting a Sr, id go for a Silvia front end clip, that way if you need anyhting off of it you can get it. Plus you can part out the rest of the car and make some good money. Welcome to the forums btw.

welcome. swap should be relatively straight forward, and there's a thread running around here with info on what JDM components have off-the-shelf USDM counterparts.
