[Tyler620]

im about to buy my buddies dual cam engine, tranny, and ecu after he swaps his 240sx with an Rb20. what are all of the parts that ill need to buy besides what my buddy is giving me. for example i know im gonna need some engine mounts, but what else is a must for this swap!?? im going into this with no experience and can use all of the advice from the pros!!!!

 

Thanks

 

P.S. are coilover conversions possible with my truck??? ive been told it isnt really worth doing because of difficulty.

while reading the motor mount link, it mentions using certain transmissions because they are easier to bolt on than the KA tranny. should i just stick with the KA tranny im being given?

The easiest solution is a NAPZ transmission from a 720. The one from the donor will work bu it is longer than the truck transmissions.

 

You will want to make sure which transmission is in the truck already. If it is a long tail trans it will be a direct bolt in swap. If it is a short tail, you will need to get long tail crossmember and driveshaft.
