Do-able, but not clear cut install. It's been done a few times, but for the $$$, build a beastly VQ and boost the **** out of it.

Only reason I'm chiming in is because I thought about this too. Called around to see what it would take, and backed out... For the $$$, it doesn't really make too much sense.

CAVEAT: it is a good price for the block, but keep hunting if your serious. Better prices are out there. Including the R33 and R34 blocks...

Probably because the swap is aimed at the 240 crowd. They use the 5spd off of the RB25DET, to make it "easier".
