It’s not bolt-on like the S-chassis though, even the bluebird swap. I’ve heard it’s not easy, but do-able.

I’ve got a buddy that put the sr2o from a blue bird in his 2003 sentra, fwd. He hated the swap, it was the most annoying and frustarting thing he did to the car. Its fast as hell, but a lot of work, to get it to fit right.

if you get a AWD engine, the tranny from a 88 pulsar SE with the CA18DE will work and it takes quite a bit of power reliably too.

the B15 sentra 2.0L tranny will work too.
