Alright So i Am trading my 3000GT vr4 shell for two s130s and one runs and drives and the other is a manual shell Ive done some reading and I am still kind of confused.

1. I heard you have to convert the oil pan to rear sump. ive seen several kits to do this but I am unsure about buying one used or ebay crap, could someone point me in the right direction.

2. mount kit, I have read 3 different things, you can use the stock mounts on the rb and it drops right in only thing you need is the trans cross member.
I have read that you can use some jag motor mounts and it works the same way.
I have seen of course the motor mounts with the kits.

3. Drive shaft. Alright I currently have an rb20 in my s13 coupe and i used a stock drive shaft with it, ive read you can use the stock driveshaft with the rb20 trans.

4 I have read people have had issues with the transmission being to long. and not lining up with the shifter hole. please shine some light on it please.

5. Wiring harness. Since its an 83 surely wiring specialties has a harness that just plugs right in?
