may issue of sport compact car had an article on the initial build-up of a nissan 240sx. they bought an '89 S13-body coupe w/ a hole in the block for $800 and an entire front clip from a japanese silvia w/ the sr20det and transplanted it in. looks like they'll be doing more work on it in the near future, but so far they've got a running turbo'ed 240sx for under $3k total investment.
might want to check into that - i'm sure the article is on their website (sportcompactcarweb.com).
