motors of ebay... shady...

and i'd bet if you're people who know people, $8k isn't that surprising for a RB26

IRC thats how much McKinney motor charges for a RB25DET SWAP.

and have fun putting in a RB26 in a 240sx... a lot of custom stuff, and making things fit.

dude you can get an RB26dett front clip (R-33) anyday for half that if you even bother to check any other engine importer.
As far as the custom work, well, an rb25det and tranny and a single turbo conversion and it wouldn't be much different than an rb25det, which if you read up, isn't too horrible difficult to install if you are mechanically inclined.

i've always heard it'll take modifications to the sump for clearance issues, too, but yeah other than that a single turbo conversaion to clear steering shaft (ever notice how zenitani's car has big ol' twins in that little 180sx? damned RHD peoples)
