Is it possible, and typically as easy as it is said and done? I'm also possibly looking into SR20's and even RB25's. Now, what will it take for me to have the RB26 fit into my engine bay and run perfectly? I mean, do I buy the engine, and work with a different trans? Or what? If it all possible, can someone, or everyone, give me a potential parts list of what I'll need?
For a new guy I'm asking a whole lot, but am just getting into 240's after losing my 2JZ-GTE SC300. Any wherever I look, I get conflicting info on trying to work with my new car. Any help would be great.

Going from a 155 hp auto transmission 240 to a potentially 600 hp+ RB26 setup is hardly a "bit more power"...
This is gonna cost you over $20,000 at least by the time it's all said and done and plenty of time and energy.
And if you want 4wd, which is totally badass, it's gonna be even worse.
Good luck, and do A LOT more research then come back with specific questions
