LOL, speak up you knuckle head!! Your the technical brains behind this operation, I'm just the dumb labor!!! Tomorrow I have nothing major planned and was gonna see about pulling the engine out! I ripped EVERYTHING out of the engine bay so it should be rather simple. I'm just gonna drop the cross member first and see what else catches!! LOL

This is the first time I have noticed this thread but im at work on my moto q so I cant read it all but if there is anything you need to know about this car just ask me cause im half ricer and im building my s13 as we speak but using a sr20det intead of a v8.
I dont know if any of your q's have been anwered but from what I saw on the first page is what motor code it is. Its a KA24DE OBD1 w/ 155hp (thumbs down) iron block. It weighs more than a LS1. The motor is not worth anything... well we sell them for 50-150 dollars in running condition. People turbo those motors and call them a KA-T and they are pretty strong usually around the 300whp range.
If you have not found the parts for the swap (mounts, driveshaft, custom headers...etc) I can talk to a guy named matt martin and find out all you need and where to gt it since he has a LS1 powered s13.

Yeah I've figured out that the KA is a piece of junk so I know a guy that says he wants it so if he really does he can come and get it...
(Rob)And if Matt Martin is on the boards please have him post up or do so for him as I know I'd be interested to hear about how he made his work! Shannon and I have been looking around for swap kits and found a few but I've read some bad feedbacks on a few of the kits.
Good luck with your project!

Are you gonna gut the interior or just leave everything not under the motor stock? You can get some cheap springs to lower it but it will cost 600 (knock off) up to 2k (jic fla2, silkroad) for coilovers 
cause drifting made em sky rocket.
What you gonna do about a transmission (manual or autotragic). Oh and on the brakes, if you go big power then those stockers gotta go lol. You can hunt down z32 brake calipers, skyline, J30 or Q's for a decent price over big brake kits and they are 4 piston instead of the stock 2.
Are you gonna go 5 lug or leave it 4 lug. Base model s14's are all 4 lug and SE models are 5 lug plus they have white face gauges and a spoiler.
Hey what do you want for the KA mafs cause mine is actin funky and I wanna see if thats the problem or if something else is gayin up on me.
I read up on matts build and he custom fabbed alot of his own stuff. But I found a FAQ V8 240 thread on zilvia. I will give you the link when I get on my computer.

Before I start worrying about shocks I'm gonna focus on getting this bad boy up and running. Once she's moving under her own power then we'll move on to the shocks and at that point we'll figure out what we want to set them up to do...(i.e. track, drift, 1/4 mile...)

Brakes...ummmm, who needs brakes!!
haven't gotten that far yet, probably gonna use the stockers until the car's rolling around by herself.Are you gonna go 5 lug or leave it 4 lug. Base model s14's are all 4 lug and SE models are 5 lug plus they have white face gauges and a spoiler.

Yeah let me know if you find that link. I'd love to fab up my own brackets but I'm sans welder so that might prove to be difficult.
Anyways, I'm off to bed so I can wake up and work on the 240 tomorrow.
Peace.
