So, my beloved 1993 Nissan 240SX SE Hatch has finally given up the ghost after 245K miles on the original engine. I've owned it since new and loved every minute of it, but I believe that it might just be time to put it out to stud. Question is, should I? There aren't too many simple, lightweight rear wheel drive coupes out there, and certainly not many with such a distinctive bodystyle. Plus, other than the engine being broken, the car has hardly a few faults with the body, interior or electrical systems.
As such, I've contemplated replacing the engine with a rebuilt engine... perhaps even buying a Japanese SR20DET for a little power boost. Question is, how difficult are those to install by a shop? Where does one purchase such an engine? What parts and accessories does one need to buy alongside it? Best yet, is this even a good idea from the start?
PS: Serious answers only, please. I don't want kids with SuperStreet subscriptions giving me advice about cars they've never touched.
