Are you thinking of dropping that in place of your CA18de? If so, Nismo makes a high performance cam for that engine. One thing to think about is that the engine in the 85 was for a rear wheel drive and may not have the correct mount locations for a front wheel drive car.

no i was just going to use the turbo off of one to get stuff setup and going and i don't want much boost to start with cuz of my 10:1 CR, i did try to put the engine in with my dohc head on it but that was a no go

You have a manifold for your ca18DE?
