Greg,
$700 for a complete SR20DE engine/trans is a great price as long as it
comes with all the accessories such as the starter, as they are unique to
this series engine.
You can make a RWD SR20DE engine run with either the Sentra SE-R or NX2000
ECU and wiring harness or one from a 1991-1993 Nissan 240SX with the KA24DE
engine. The wiring portion of the swap is very straightforward, and if
anyone needs help feel free to contact me.
As for service parts for these engines, I stock water pumps, valve cover
gaskets, distributor caps and rotors, plug wires, and other service parts
unique to the rear wheel drive versions of this engine via my business,
Spriso Motorsports. If you have a unique part that you need for your
Japanese market engine, feel free to contact me and I will see if I can help.
I am interested in which engine you decided to use for your swap!
