Hey guys,
I am new to the board and the 240sx world...i just recently sold my VW gti and wanted to start a new project so im thinking that ill be building a 240....Money for the build really isnt an issue and i wanted to get some people input onto what exactly i should do.
Im thinking a S14 despite the fact that it is heavier than the other models i like the body styling alot more.
As far as motor goes im kind of clueless here....It seems the the sr20 is the most common swap and im guessing what would be the easiest as far as parts availablity and ease of the swap its self but is that really the best motor for the build?? i was thinking about maybe and RB but based upon my knowledge (which is minimal) isnt that motor VERY large and also parts seem to be a little harder to come across...im not really sure if there are other common swaps that people are doing if so please let me kno....any input would be greatly appreciated.
Body wise i was to do the s15 front end with a widebody kit and blah blah blah blah. Which is pretty much what i have seem alot of people doing with the car although i will deff try to go after a little diffent of a look with my final product.
basically any input as to what my basic blueprint should be would be greatly appreciated.
Also as i start my search for a car to start with should i be looking for something with the motor swap already done or is my best bet to get a roller and do the swap myself?
