Hi, I hoping maybe I could get some advice regarding swaping my 1989 Nissan 240sx OME engine and 5 speed to another 1989 Nissan 240sx body that was automatic transmission. Trying to find out, what, if any difficulties, what to expect, and advice/suggestions have on doing this. Ive read a lot on swaping but not exactly this situation. Thanks.

Its pretty cut and dry, search 5 speed swap. On the KA-E (89-90) use the 5 speed ECU and harness.

If you have the 2 cars you have all the parts to transfer.

Parts
Pedals, hardlines, driveshaft, trans crossmember, engine with flywheel and trans, ecu, and wire it up.

Just make sure the OEM engine/transmission are still good, you dont want to waste all your time for nothing. and also, if its your first swap, make sure you have someone who knows what they're doing to help.
