Most SR20DET swaps, even if they're advertised as 'Complete' do not include the SR20DET Motor Mount Brackets as are required to install the engine (duh)

You can use your stock motor mounts, but not your stock motor mount brackets which are bolted to the block.



Also, it is much easier to install the engine with the motor mounts attached to the swap and then put it in the engine bay, rather than just try to line the brackets up while the mounts are in the car.


Even if your oil pan looks good, take it off and bang it out anyway. Or buy the GReddy oil pan or a replica. Even if it doesn't look too bent in, looks may be deceiving.


When wiring your power up to the engine using a battery relocation kit, don't forget about the two power wires in the harness behind the passenger headlight that were hooked up to the stock battery terminal. Obviously you'll need power to the lower harness on the SR swap, but you need power to these two plugs as well.
