Yeh the gearbox will be different, so the engine mounts will be the same from a pulsar be the same as a silvia

No,no,no stop looking at the pulsar for engine donor. Engine mounts are least of your problems, cyl head is diff as it has distributor on the back of it, both manifolds are diff etc etc. You will need rwd engine as stated earlier. If fwd and rwd sr's were the same price would be the same, makes sense?
Cheers

The list is endless...

Tail shaft

Brakes
Intercooler
Radiator
All fitting piping hoses fuel system, cooling systemetc
Computer

Yes I have put a 2jz into my 2 door mk2 (still building). Not an easy option. I have modified the firewall extensively and made a new gearbox tunnel. Heater bubble is now gone. I am running the 6 speed getrag box aswell. Engine only has 2 cylinders in front of the struts. I am running a borg warner diff with 31 spline axles and romac centre with 4.11 gears with disc brake rear end. I am running bmw discs and volvo calipers up front with a skyline master cylinder mounted straight on the firewall. Strut towers do not need to be modified. I am also running a 2jzgte so I also have a single turbo on the drivers side too. I used a non turbo motor to trial fit and make mount and stuff. Fits fine. 2jzge is legal in qld as the heaviest mk2 available is around 1080kg. Mine is a street car and also am going for near stock appearance. I have also strengthend the chassis as I am chasing 600rwhp and 1000kg.

I am posting this information only to give insight to the person who asked the original question and don't really care about negative feedback about handling issues. I also have an Sr20 datsun 1600 track car that is very well balanced and setup. I am mainly building this as I want something mental that looks some what just like a tidy escort. I still have tried to make it handle ok with engine far back and decent brake and suspension but only after I drive it will I know if I succeeded.
Hope this helped a bit.
Thanks.
Chris
