Someone was telling me that it was RWD, came with an RB20 in its earlt years, and was based off the S13 chasis. So my question is, will the engine mounts work for an S13? RB20's are pretty cheap on e-bay.......

Not an S13 chassis.  It's an A31 chassis.  It's most similar to the R32 Skyline and C32 Laurel.  It does have S13-ish looks, that's about it.

McKinney Motorsports is working on an RB-series swap kit.

The actual mounts are the same for the RB and the CA/SR/KA.  The RB's mounts are located 100mm forward, though.

Well I know the A31 is RWD and the A32 is FWD. Someone said it was based of the S13 so that sparked my curiosity. I just noticed that Unstable-Hybrids has engine mounts for the RB........

The A31 Cefiro has the RB20e/de/det engines as the options.  The turbo model has less horsepower than the Skyline due to the narrower intake.  You can bolt on the S13 suspension onto a A31 Cefiro or an C33 Laurel.  Its a cheap way to drop the car since you can find a stock S13 suspension at a junkyard for almost nothing.  Only thing is the car will ride like crap since the cefiro is much heavier than the S13 so the swap is strictly just for looks.
