Not too uncommon. I've seen so many of those swaps it's not that impressive anymore since my friend swaps those things. You should see his LS1 swap into a S14

Looking good I'm working with my buddy as well with his b12 (1990 sentra) putting a CA18DET in it.

I know but its our first so its exciting.
and its good practice for my next project

Yes its tubbed in the pic. thats with a layer of body filler.
We chose to do the tub at a slight angle just to switch it up and make it look slightly more purpose built.

Why RB instead of LSx? No hate, just curious.

An ls swap would be dope but he already has a 26 sitting in his garage and we need to get it running so he can sell his extra hatch

I love coupes. Is that a hard top or sun roof? I see he's going with a s13 SR. I like those tubs. This reminds me of when I used to work at 786.
