So I aquired a free 94 Nissan Pickup with ka24e with a bad engine. Own tow truck company and kid that was driving it said it had been ticking for a while and then died on him going down interstate. Truck will still start and run but knocks heavily and is pouring oil out of the back side of engine. I'm assuming it threw a rod.
So I happen to have a 96 Nissan Pickup at my junkyard with a decent engine. I know it runs but I remember it having a misfire. Was wondering if it's possible to use the 96 engine in the 94 truck. Heard the timing cover and dist is different. Will need to compression test the 96 of course first
Also the 94 is automatic and the 96 is 5 speed
