Okay, I might be picking up my second 240sx within the next week or two and I was planning to do an S15 front end conversion and SR20DE swap.
I was wondering if it would be easier to swap the engine before or after the conversion. I dont have enough money to have both done simultaniously before winter.
Im planning to do the engine swap with a friend and having the conversion done by a licensed mechanic that has prior experiece.

well sr20de is kind of a waste of money you should do the s15 front end unless your going sr20det then do tthe motor first may i just ask why no turbo?
dont worry im not a hater just wondering if you plan on going T within the next year hit up a srde then when you get the time/money go turbo there are endless amounts of aftermarket parts for the sr s15 front end is good but there your kinda a ricer my $0.02
personally, i’d do go before the show. but then again, i prefer speed more than an awesome looking car. and sides, the swap will prolly be cheaper to do than the body work.
toss the motor in first, i would assume it takes less time because from what i’ve heard of the s15 conversion (which look dirtttty as hell) there is so much involved with cutting and molding. The motor if you bust balls can be done much quicker… and truth be told your going to want to drive your car as much as possible this summer right? who cares how long someone has it in the winter imo
