Today I fit the SR20DET engine into the 240z! We had custom engine and transmission mounts, as well as a custom length drive shaft. We had a little difficulty installing the engine, but eventually we got it to fit. The original cross member needs to be notched a little to get the engine in the correct spot, and the original motor mounts must be cut out to clear the SR alternator. Now that the engine is positioned correctly, I will weld in the new motor mounts.

The SR20DET is much smaller than the inline 6 cylinder engine that was originally installed. The new custom motor mounts position the SR20DET engine further back (behind the front wheels), and also lower the engine mounting position. This should make the handling much better!
