So i got this Rb20 for a pretty good deal randomly someone had it sitting in there garage for the past five years about a mile from my house. Any way im wanting to swap it in to my 89' s13 that had a SOHC 5 speed. The RB came with no flywheel or clutch, so i get to my shop and look at my trans and the bell housing is a circle-ish and the RB is like a large square with only 4 bolt holes. Am i missing a adapter from the block to the transmission bell housing. Im pretty lost. Ive built may cars but never encountered this. I tried to attach some picture. Please if you know what i need tell me

you need the "Pig Ears" they bolt to the sides and curve underneath the oilpan

Correct, there are block to bellhousing brackets that connect those open areas.
you also need the bellhousing backing plate (big zinc gold colored plate) as well which will allow you to bolt in the starter

Just PM/call/email any one of the Nissan dealership vendors here and tell them what you need. They can get ANY RB parts provided they aren't discontinued.
The dealership vendor I've used the most is nissanpart.cc
