engine swap

I read a few posts so I think I'll just ask. I have a 2003 sentra 1.8 S. The body is in bad shape but the motor only has 39,000 miles. Which sentra years are compatible with this motor ? If this has been asked and answered please point me in the right direction and I'll do the searching Thank you , raydogdoc

if youre just trying to change your chassis, any b15 sentra chassis is capable of bolting in your 1.8 motor/trans/suspension/etc. so any b15 chassis, which is 2000-2006.

if youre interested in just swapping the motor to a newer chassis, youll be looking for a 2002-2003 sentra xe, or gxe. this way it will bolt right in and your electronics will match up. the 2004+ is very similar, but quite a bit of electronic connections are different, so you may have to rewire stuff. im not positive about complications using the older 2000-2001 chassis, as the throttle is cable driven, which means you may need more parts from your old chassis, like gauges, maf, pedal, ecu, etc, and correct wiring since the old stuff isnt all electronic.
