Its not to say I have a skyline motor or anything to that effect...and money is always an issue...I mean I've read so many posts stating that you can purchase a rb20/25 clip for 300-1000 less than an sr clip, and have more hp/tq and displacment to play with. But on the same note, I know it takes more fabrication to install one...but I came across a site where a noob did the install himself and didnt really have any problems...so labor isnt a huge factor when it comes to price. RB26dett isnt an option for me...too much $$$...but I know it takes alot more to get a SR into the 500whp range vs a RB mainly because displacment, etc. It is different which isnt bad by any reason, but not a primary reason to swap. The pricing for SR motors are streadily increasing as well. I wouldnt mind having a SR powered 240, but wanted to know what were the biggest con's from our local installer/owners who have knowledge/experience from doing the swap.
As far as being as heavy as a supra, I say this article posted somewhere else, and I dont know the truth behind it but the weight doesnt have too much of a factor....which really wouldnt concern me either way. I cant find the article at the moment, but I remember his weight changing to 52/48 with the RB25 installed.
