1992 240sx ENGINE CHANGE FROM 92 TO 90 BLOCK HEADS DIFFERENT?

[darkwaterf]

HI, NEW TO THIS SITE AND NEED HELP I HAVE A 1992 240SX WITH THE KA24DE ENGINE . HAD A CLUTCH PROFESSIONALLY INSTALLED (YEAH RIGHT) THE FLYWHEEL AND CLUTCH PLATE COMPLETELY BLEW APART FROM LOOSE BOLTS . BELL HOUSING COMPLETELY GONE AS IS transmission MOUNTING HOLES AND STARTER MOUNTS. SO I BOUGHT A 1990 5 SPEED WITH BLOCK KA24E WITH NO HEAD. IS IT POSSIBLE TO SWAP OR INSTALL THE KA24DE HEAD ON THE KA24E BLOCK. AND IF SO WHAT PARTS WILL I NEED TO COMPLETE THE SWAP. AND PLEASE DON'T TELL ME TO SEARCH I'VE BEEN SEARCHING FOR INFORMATION FOR 3 DAYS ON THIS SITE . WHAT I NEED IS INFORMATION THAT WILL HELP. THANKS, DARKWATERF 04/19/06

THANKS FOR THE REPLY,DUE TO MANY YEARS IN ANGER MANAGEMENT I REALLY ,REALLY DON'T WANT TO SEE THIS GUY ( MECHANIC??). BLOCKS ARE THE SAME BUT THE DISTRIBUTOR IS IN THE HEAD OF THE KA24DE AND I JUST FOUND OUT LAST NITE THAT THIS NEW BLOCK IS THE KA24E WITH DISTRIBUTOR IN THE BLOCK. ONLY THING I CAN THINK OF IS IF THE FRONT TIMING COVERS ARE INTERCHANGABLE AS WELL AS WHATS BENEATH THEM. I'M NOT FAMILIAR WITH THESE ENGINES SO ANY HELP IS GREATFUL.

HI, I NOTICED PEOPLE ARE DOWNLOADING THE FIRST PICTURE. I NEVER EXPECTED IT TO BE DOWNLOADED. BUT I CERTAINLY HOPE IT REMINDS YOU TO KNOW WHO IS WORKING ON YOUR CAR . AND KNOW THE LAWS IN THE STATE YOUR IN. BECAUSE I BOUGHT THE CLUTCH OFF EBAY AND BROUGHT IT TO THE GARAGE TO INSTALL, THIS PEICE OF **** MECHANIC IS BY LAW BLAMELESS . BY THE WAY NO FAULTS WERE FOUND IN THE AIMCO CLUTCH . BUT LOOSE BOLTS WERE FOUND ON THE HIGHWAY UNSHEARED !!!IT WAS A SUNDAY MORNING AROUND 10:30 AM I WAS PASSING A PROPANE TRUCK IN FULL ACCERATION APPROX. 90 MPH AT THE TIME THIS HAPPENED . BLEW OUT RIGHT PASS. TIRE SHEARED MY MASTER CYLINDER AND MOST OF MY ELECTRIC. PIECES WERE SPREAD OUT ON RT. 101 FOR OVER 1/2 A MILE. CLASSIC ROADSIDE SERVICES WHO TOWED VEHICLE MEASURED THE DISTANCE. I HAD TO COAST OVER 3/4 OF A MILE UPHILL TO EXIT 9 TO STOP.
