I just bought a 240. Ive been thinking of swaping the engine, but i really dont have the experience nor the resources. I was wondering if anyone knew where you can get it done, and roughly the price range…that would include the engine and labour Thanks, Derek ---

honestly if your paying more then 1K for a swap then your paying too much. it should be no more then 2K for sr, then 1k for accessories ( rad, fmic, fuel pump etc) and then 1k for install. thats for just a basic swap. ---

Well if you can’t get anyone to do your swap. May I recommend calling up the Canadian Tire located at Dundas and Trafalgar. They did my swap. It was a pretty clean install as well. It took about 2 weeks on and off. Didn’t cost me too much. 400 DUNDAS ST E OAKVILLE, ON L6H 6Z9 Phone: 905-257-8473 Just call them and tell them that Mark sent you. He has a Red 240sx Hatch. Be sure to tell them you want to speak to the automotive dept. ---

Do it yourself! There are endless websites showing you exectly what needs to be done. That is what im doing and even if you have to rent an engine hoist and some other shit it will still cost you a fraction on what youd pay on labour for someone else to do it. ---

lol im with d\_fresh. rent (or buy) an engine hoist and buy tools do it yourself and then you come out with more knowledge a swap AND tools. Having said all that, I had all of the tools and shiz before i did any of this. 3 engine swaps by the time i was 18.(in 3 cars) -Matt
