Alright I'm asking this for a buddy at work. He just got ahold of a '85 Nissan 4WD pickup that is in great condition for dirt cheap. This shit is in great condition for its age and he only paid a grand for it. Well its got the Z24 motor in it and it runs really good but isn't smog legal for here in CA because the EGR is disconnected and a couple wires aren't hooked up to the carb, yeah i know this is small shit, but whatever.
The thing is he wants to put another motor in and was thinking of an SR20. The truck has a divorced transfer case so he could still use the SR tranny, just have to modify the yoke on the driveshaft that goes the the transfer case a little. Just wondering is anyone knows if the SR20 can bolt up to that Z24 Tranny, or does it definately need to be swapped too. Also, I know that here in Cali we can get swaps ref'ed, but can an SR20DET be ref'ed or does it have to be non-turbo?
also anyone else ever done this kind of thing with a pickup. I remember on Mischief they showed a guy that had a Mighty Max 4WD with an eclipse GST motor in it and it was badass, but never seen it done with a Nissan.
