I think I lost about 15 IQ points reading this thread.
S12 Drifter- The SR is a good motor- far from 'trash'... and I am not some 2F2F-reject kid... I bought my SR in Japan before half you fuckers were even old enough to drive, then brought it home with me when I came back to the states... I beat the ever-loving shit out of it, but kept it well-maintained- it never let me down. Pretty sure that excludes me from your 'bandwagon fanboi' stereotype... BTW- In Japan, if you swapped an RB20 into an S-chassis; with a few key exceptions you would very likely get laughed at. Wonder why that is?
Nothing wrong with doing a KA-t... It's been done enough times to where there is a good knowledge base on how to do it effectively.
I told OP on the 240sx forum that I recommend that he pursues the KA-t option. NOT because SR's are trash, but because the amount of ass-pain he would have to go thru on an SR that has NO crank; and God only knows what else that needs to be fixed/replaced on it before he even begins to contemplate a swap. If that dude had been offering him a turn-key, running SR setup for even $1500; my recommendation would have been different- and that has NOTHING to do with which motor I favor, and EVERYTHING to do with economics.
You can sit and quote prices and Google facts, figures etc all you want. Doesn't matter WHAT you are doing, the nickels and dimes add up; and if you don't have the time, the right tools and/or know how to do your ALL of your own work- the price for either option will go a lot higher than just the price of the parts needed to do it. Which motor is any better than the other is a moot point.
Going back to OP... haven't seen him even touch this thread for a while- probably left the poor kid even more confused than he already is... or laughing his ass off at the stupid tangent you knuckleheads took off on.
