A guy is selling a 200sx Nissan but he’s taken out the engine for a project which he cancelled. he is selling it cheaper because the engine is taken out. How hard is it to install the engine for a person with limited skill?

This is not complicated to do but you require the proper tools. It is big, bulky and requires special care when putting it in and out. It can be done but again, please be careful if you are going to do this. Did he remove the transmission along with it?

Here is the process from the manual if you would like to attempt this. Let me know if you have questions. Thanks
