I'm building my 1977 Chevy Luv into a drift truck, as far as I'm concerned it has never been done before?
Any ways I've found a SR20de engine that comes with Tranny, Ecu, Harness, and MAF for $1000.
It has 45,000 original miles on it, it's a crate engine that im buying off my friend MAYBE
The issue I see with buying this, is I don't know how the Engine will mount into the Chevy Luv?

I was wondering if anyone has done this swap? And if so was there any major fabrication needed? And how close of a fit was the SR20de to stock engine mounting place?

P.S. I don't want to put a V8 in it because, in my opinion it's to mainstream for the chevy luv, and I want to build a drift truck out of the SR20de considering I'm a fan of that engine.

Thank you for any help I can get for this project. - Brent_R

P.S. I don't want to hear about how I shouldn't turn this truck into a drift truck, or about how I should but a V8 in it instead.

First post and an attitude... Good luck...

How's that? I changed my wording around a bit with some reason.
And if you think I had an attitude, I'm sorry I wasn't reading it that way when I was typing but can see where you are coming from on it.
