Question Will 85 200sx turbo motor bolt into 89 240sx???

I bought a 1985 200sx turbo from south florida, it runs great and is in nice shape, but has no title, and i have a 1989 nissan 240sx, both are standard shift, i was just wondering if i could use the drivtrain from the 200sx in the 240sx

saturn0317, from looking at your sig. i would be very happy to get 14seconds out of the car, are using a different motor than an 85 200sx turbo? im new to RWD nissans.....

Has anyone done this exact swap? and will the 200sx motor bolt up to the 240sx tranny?

i have a two cam and it's out of a 180sx.

i don't know what the the extra cam does for power but you may be able to put a head off of an american pulsar 1.8 since it's a two cam head. but you may want to ask some of the more all knowing nissan people about that.


i've been told the you can use the the 240 tranny as long as you use the bell housing that matches you block.
