I need an engine for my car since mine blew up the day before yesterday. Im still establishing a budget. But Im going to have around a grand to spend to put it in, maybe $1500. Im just trying to figure out whats out there that might work for me. My car is an 89 and had the original 290+kms SOHC in it. Im not interested in putting another SOHC into though, so Im looking for a KA or a KA-t I guess unless someone has an SR they want to get rid of real bad… I need the motor by the weekend…

for that price I am thinking you are only going to find a KaDe, but this is the time of year when you should be able to find a nice one pretty easly.

best of luck

To be honest if you think a RB20 realisticly falls into a price point of " Maybe 1500". there will be a lot more to buy as well as work on.  
Just get a nice Low KM KaDe

Will bolt in using stock mounts and R32 crossmember.  
you can also use aftermarket ones from companies such as McKinney and TopHat

yeah an rb20 swap is jsut as easy as sr, except for the need of rad fans and a cross member… which if u got a clip is no problem… and as always u can get me to wire because i rock that.
