I’ve heard Riworx is good for RB20 front clips, though I don’t have any personal experience with them.

Unless you rock McKinney mounts, you are most likely gonna have your hood skeleton cut up anyway because of the intake manifold and what not.

fitting the actual 25 is no different than the 20.

the tranny is another story lol. you need a driveshaft and thats basically it.

I used R32 xmember and I have NO mounting issues. Steering shaft is incredibley close (grinded it a bit just in case) motor has rubbed slightly into the hood. Did not change anything to fit the RB minus the xmember.  
Easy swap as long as you have half a brain I would say.

thats what i thought to but after talking to ronnie he said the 25 tranny wouldn`t fit in the tranny tunnel unless you hammered teh tunnel big time i have no problems buying a new drive shaft and obviously any sort of x member but the tunnel thing kind of worries me

For a 25 you need a drive shaft and tranny cross member made, other than that the swap is pretty much the same.

The tranny fits in the tranny tunnel… barely. Mine is touching in a couple spots because I forgot to clearance the firewall… but it’s definitely in there without any destruction of the firewall.

Get a 25, so much more fun.
