need help with a swap

so, i got hold of an engine (sr20) fully built... upgraded ball bearing turbo.. they say it would push close to 350hp...(thats to the wheel) (and would worrie about not spinning the wheel in all gear later) hahah stage 4 clutch w/ a flywheel to go for it... the thing i need to know is could i use all of the stock cv shaft and all that?? or do i need to replace everything?? if anybody has any info on this swap.. please let me know... and i know i gotta change the drive shaft cause of the length...

wiring isnt all that hards, its mostly just a few different power signals. its more intimidating on paper. you gotta get custom driveshaft tranny and motor mounts though and also exhaust. the R200 will hold up to the SR just fine and the CV's are great to. ever see GNZ? the grand national powered 240z? it was running lots o powa and torque the diff killer, it used the stock ZX R200 ad CV's. i would recomend getting an LSD though

Hybridz.org has lots of info on the SR20DET swap. Looks like the biggest ordeal is fabbing up a new engine cradle / motor mounts.

I did a quick search & got some threads w/ good info... lots of pics.

Time to break out the metal cutters and welder!!!

yup, if its a good hp motor then its perfect, its a motor that will put out just as much and more HP than the L motor can or at least has and is much lighter and much shorter to re-distribute the weight. its basically a win win win situation. hard to argue with results. oh yeah wanna get me one similare price as to you? lol.
