i cracked my sr block but its fwd and it was more of hitting a car and something going through the block so that doesnt count. another thing to concider if you want to be different go with the rb20det or sr20 with twin turbo set up you could also convert the 240 to fwd and and custome set up the rear end of the car have 2 gtir fwd motors in it but you would have to figure out the linkage for the tranny......
