hey, my friend just wrecked his s2000 and instead of getting another one, he wants to drop that motor into this 92 240sx hatch he found on autotrader. is that a feasible option?

Sure, after about $10000 in custom fabrication & mechanic work.

The car will at the least need custom mounts, custom driveline, tranny probably won't line up properly with where the shifter should be coming up into the cabin, these are just getting started with it. Definitely would need a stand alone system to run the electronics. Custom piping to hook up to the radiator. There is a lot more to the project from this point on. Is it feasible? Well, how much money are you planning on using for the the project? $$$$ = Feasible, $0 = Not Feasible.

If I were your friend I'd sell the F20C (?) and get an SR. I mean I'm not a big fan of the SR's but its 200-240hp and 209lbs of torque compared to a 240hp and 153lb/ft.
