Default S13 240sx

So i can pick up one for a steal. And i found a 5.3 drop out for cheap as well
Ive looke every where but i cant find the answer.
I would most probably buy the sikky kit and swap a 5.3l and a t65.


Would that truk pan and truck accessories and truck wireharness/pcm work?
Thanks!

youve looked everywhere?

i find that hard to believe. its posted all over the internet that you need a gto pan or aftermarket front sump pan (such as sikky that you mentioned...) and you need car accessories.

you will also need car intake, unless you dont want to run a hood. computer and harness can be made to work.

No. Truck intake is too tall, truck accessories to wide. The PCM may work though. There is a lot of info on here. Also check the links section of Conversions and hybrids for more info.

Year of the engine will determine if the pcm is going to work (24X, 58X, DBC or DBW) especially if you are going to swap the intake and possibly throttle body to fit under the hood. What are specifics of the engine (year/make/model)?

Yes I searched on here. I only found 2 build threads that were predominantly pics only.
Its a 89 240sx and the motor is out if a 2003 silverado. So its a dbw 24x
