well first off.. as far as instaling the engine.. my bro is VERY EXPERIENCED with Honda's.. he can drop a Honda/Acura engine in a hatchback in 6 hours or less.. do u think thats experienced enough to drop a sr20det in a 240SX? or is nissan a whole new learning path? and as far as state smog laws go.. let me mention first that i live in california.. but, and might i add a HUGE but.. I work with my dad and brother.. and they own a smog test only center. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif so how much for just the engine?? 1500 u say?? and one last question: why the hell is it so hard for me to find a 97 or 98 240SX? theres only like 1 on autotrader.com in my area. helppPp... anyone selling a good condition 97 or 98 body 240sx or know where to find one??
