order mckinney mounts, save yourself a headache
I just finished an rb20 swap in my '93 240. I used the mckinney mounts on mine, it turned out nice. It still requires you to hammer in the hump for the starter to be able to center your shifter. But the motor sits perfect imo, low enough for the hood to close without shimming it or trimming rebar + theres like 2" of room from the timing cover and underside of the hood. IF you have any questions just pm or text me, 519-841-3978 nick. Im waiting for my fmic to come in so im not able to drive just yet lol…
I used mckinney mounts was very helpful, but save yourself a headache and get a different engine
so true ^
RB25 > RB20
Swapping a ka24 for an RB20 is a downgrade. 
Also you should post your location if you want some extra hands
RB20 is perfect for a daily. You want power at any point with this car. 20 is stupid. 25 or nothing
350-400hp is easily atainable will little modification n a good tune,plus THE SOUND MAN!!!

sweet, thxs bud,
hey, can anyone possibly give me any tips for wiring the rb20 up?
I did a DIY write up a while ago. I think I still have my diagrams somewhere. The hard part is the o2 sensor and fuel pump wires and the fact that most dumbasses hard wire the white relay wire to the fuse box instead of just connecting it to the batterey.
PM me super easy to do.
