deciding what engine

I believe heavythrottle is selling a redtop swap for 3k but they do a lot of work to insure that it is in fact a good motor.

You could pick them up for much cheaper, but then you may have to go through what I did.

yea, I was looking at heavy throttle and 240sx motoring i think? One part of the dohc swap that seems like a bitch is swapping out for the dohc power steering. Not to mention not really knowing the condition of the engine. If anyone has done a dohc swap and would like to help me out when I finally get to it, it will be appreciated.

I contacted Import AutoPerformance about their KA24ET turbo kit. they said it will fit the DE as long as i get the DE manifold. So, if I take the KA path, I might just turbo the single and then swap over to Dual when I get the engine and rebuild it and all that good stuff
