[Roadsters] SR20 question

[David Patten]

Craig,
The bellhousing bolt pattern on the FWD SR20 block is unique to the FWD
transmission and there is no RWD transmission that will attach to it
easily. Years ago I made a small run of adapters to mate the FWD SR engine
to an L series transmission, but these are all gone.

Another issue with the FWD SR engine is the distributor location. It
projects off the flywheel end of the head and cannot be used without
firewall modifications in most RWD installs.

The short story, a FWD SR20 engine does not easily work for a RWD
installation.
