The two major places for 510 swappers are the510Realm.com and Ratsun.net. Ratsun has a How to Wire a KA/SR/CA into Anything how-to:

There's pluses and minuses with every swap, and many folks with their own opinion on what's "best." Read, listen, digest, then pull the trigger. We're here to help.

Just visit the "engine swap" part of the forum for more info, good luck

ps you'll note that stock roadster mounting tabs remain in place. Fabricated engine mounts using 510 isolator pads are pretty much the standard.

I'm I the riverside area and could do one for you.
Check out the posts regaurding (Is a rodster with a sr20det very streetable) and you can see my work on the silver car I did for Victor.
I'm sure more will chime in on the sr20 swaps.

I'll offer up the advice we usually give to new owners - get it running first and drive it. Many of these cars are torn down just after purchase and never see the road again.
