First I'd like to say I'm sorry to all you guys for asking what I'm about to ask. I know you guys get this kind of thing a lot but I seriously can't find the answer I'm looking for.
I've been looking for an s13 for the longest time and I think I've finally come across what I want to buy. There is an 89 fb for sell along with an rb20 front clip for 2000 cash. The car already has a dohc ka swap but the motor is bad. I guess the guy wants to get rid of this stuff due to other projects. I seen or talked to the guy yet as I will do this tomorrow.
The help I need here is in deciding if this would be a good start to getting into my first 240sx. I do honda swaps and have no knowledge of nissans but I'm ready to cross over because I do like the cars (burnt out on hondas).
I guess I just really want to know what kind of difficulty I'm looking at and what kinda of fab I'm goin to have to do. Also is this something usually time consuming as far as a shop doing this swap? I ask because I am considering buying all this and having a shop do the install. Don't wanna do more than 3500 with the price of car, front clip, and shop.
I'm sorry again for asking this kind of repeat question. I've serched but didn't find my answer so I'm asking you guys for some desperately needed help. Thanks.
