I think the hardest thing about the swap is the water pump hoses need to be longer since the engine is for a Righthand drive car. Other than that its a direct bolt in replacement. Sport Compact Car or Super Street did a step by step swap article about a year or so ago. Cant really remember what issues it was. Good Luck. I would come and help but I dont know shite about Nissans. If you dont find someone though I would definitely come out and drink with you and turn wrenches.
