What kind of engine can I swap in my 240SX?
We have three v8s, five inline-6s, two v6s, two rotaries, and three inline-4s. There are more engine swaps possible (including the aforementioned AM29 V12, the Viper V10, and the custom-made quad-rotor 26B), but we’re focusing on cheaper and more common swaps.
What kind of engine does Dave Adkins 240SX have?
While stock blocks can handle well over 1100HP, with forged internals, they have handled over 3,000whp. Dave Adkins’ LSX is pushing 3,000 to the ground, running a 3.9 in the 1/8th mile. These come in two main displacements, a 376 and a 454. The 376 is generally considered a “street” engine, while the 454 is more drag/race oriented.
What’s the difference between a 2J and a 240SX?
With 0.58″ less stroke in each cylinder compared to the 2J, this engine carries a 2.5L displacement, and much more potential for higher revs. Power being made from a stock block can still reach the 900-1000hp mark, but it’s much easier to do so with this engine. Remember, horsepower is torque* (RPM/5252).

Can a GM LS3 be swapped into a Nissan 240SX?
I spent the better part of 2 months installing a GM LS3 V8 e-Rod engine into an S13 Nissan 240SX. It by no means was easy but the mistakes I’ve made you won’t have to. My first piece of advice is do you have the budget for this swap?
Can a Nissan 240SX SR20 be swapped for a RB30?
First off there are 3 RB swaps that are known to be done ( Im excluding the RB30 hybrid as it is a rare swap). OK, this motor is a common choice among RB enthusiasts. This is the exception of the list order. It is cheaper than the S13 SR20. 2.0L single turbo, pretty rev happy and again, the cheapest way to say “I have a skyline motor”.
