Okay....I'm sure I'm going to get slammed here.....but after several hours sorting through fruitless searches, I'm hoping someone can give me a quick answer and end my agony forever.

I just bought a 95 Sentra today (for $500!). I'm going to have to replace the enginge fairly soon however, and would like to put in a more powerful engine.

Criteria: I would like to replace just the engine/transmission. I don't want to screw with the axles, brakes, or anything else. I can do brakes later. Everything must drop into place using parts that can be readily purchased. Is the SR20DE a good choice? Can it bolt right in without additional modifications to the bay? Is there a mounting kit that must be purchased? Will the transmission fit?

You can see that all these questions are difficult to answer by sifting through search results. It would be nice if someone could make a sticky listing the swaps that are direct bolt-ins with, or without, aftermarket mounting kits and such.

If any other explanation is needed please let me know. Thanks in advance!
