fs5r30a? What other USA nissans came with that trans?

Name is Rick and i'm in SoCal... I'll try too keep this buildup current and concise with photos. Plans for the Z is to build a clean Driver not too interested in crazy power or restoration obsession. I bought a RB25 out of Craigslist for $1900 included harness,trans,Rad, June 2008 I tried jamming in my junk Datsun 1200 but it wouldn't fit unless I got a new Turbo manifold since the turbo was sitting on top of the steering box So I found a Clean unmolested 240Z on Craigslist for a $1000 bucks I just test fit it and realize I need rear sump pan. That's it for now till I get a pan then I'll make some mounts. For the Mods if this isn't the correct protocol for buildup threads delete it.

Thanks to both of you. Funny you should mention Rockcrawlers that's what I've been building for the past 5years.

Where can I get one in California and what American Nissans use the same input. Thanks

Thanks

After hours of searching and reading peoples threads I still haven't found the answer. I've got a RB25DET with a steel oil pan that has the sump closer to the front. I would call it middle front it's bolted to a RWD trans. Question is ....... does this need to be flipped , reversed, changed for a "rear sump pan" to fit into a 1971 240Z? I'll be making my own engine mounts so I really just need to know if the back of the engine will hit the firewall before the sump drops behind the Rack and Pinion and cross member. Thanks in advance
