240kingdat Posted October 2, 2009 Share #4 Posted October 2, 2009 Hi Shm17y, I have a rb motor in my 240k, you will need to make engine mounts or modify crossmember, and make a gearbox crossmember. I am using an r33 turbo gearbox, and the clearances are tight, but no panelbeating required, smae goes for the sump if you are not using a cast aluminium 4wheel drive sump e.g. stagea motor (which I am using now any questions or info needed, I will try and steer you in the right direction.
