    Havent seen it done personaly but thats all the more reason to try it. I couldnt see there been any real major problems as the sr is a nice compact engine ane a 36 has a good size engine pay. Dont no much about nissan wiring but it shouldnt be bad as the sr engines are put in everything now a days.

    Ya the only thing i could think of that might cause trouble is the sump but it might be sound. As smart and all an nct men think they are there actually thick as shite if the see a 4 pot engine in the bay they wont no any different just pull the spark plug cover off. Insurance would be all that iad be worryed about
