Anyways, besides all of that i have no idea what i have gotten myself into...

My brother in law and I both have went out and purchased 240's. They are both 95 SE models and both are auto, keep in mind both have no engine or transmission. Well we are lost, how else can i put it? If you feel the need to flame me go right ahead i could care less. I just need some input on what we should be getting to do the swaps in these 240's. We have been browsing online about info on swaps and at first we were interested in rb20det swaps but from more detailed reading i see now that it is a crappy swap if you leave it basically stock (which is what we want to do with exception of some minor mods)

basically what i am asking of zilvia.net is to give us advice on what all needs to be purchased to get them running and driving nice and solid.

I am leaning toward the black top sr20det (s14 jdm) swap but we are just very unsure of any of this...

I hate seeing threads like this on the honda forums where people just randomly ask "hey how do i swap a xxxx engine swap in to my ______"
So i am apologizing in advance for my nissan noobness but we are two guys in need of some damn help!.

TIA

A/c is not needed, power steering is needed.


I am afraid i may need to get a sr20 black top s14 swap to start with.... i really wanted to do a rb

also do you have any idea whats underneath the auto shift assy? i mean can i unbolt the auto shifter assy, and the new 5 speed shift will simply go right through the hole? Or do i need to find a junk 240 and cut the floor out of it and weld it in??
