altima engine

[yotaboy94]

will a ka24de from a 2000 altima fit into a 93 ka 240sx. i know the drive is different i'm not worried about the transmission. i still have mine. i am curious if the motor will match up to transmission. also are an of the electrical plugs the same just wonder if anyone has tried this.

i'm on the same train....altima engines are just so cheap...

Simple answer: No.

Complex answer: I'm sure you could get it to work by paying maybe 3 or 4 times what your car is worth.

Can you get any more complex than that? As in technical reason?

new motor mounts. transmission adaptor. new transmission mount since the transmission is now further back having the adaptor between the engine and transmission, new driveshaft with the now compressed transmission, run a crank based ignition system (or cut a hole in the firewall to allow use of the distributor). custom intake plenum (unless you can swap the KA's intake runners on there), custom coolant hoses, custom oil pan, and most likely (just guessing, too lazy to look for proof of the following:) custom A/C and P/S lines.

have fun!! In the meantime I'll just be collecting KA's from S14's and S13's for like $100 - $300 a pop (being hipocritical i know... my '97 engine was $700 w/ 27k miles and 190 comp across, but i got it so I wouldn't need a rebuild so phooey).

hmm...thanks, just that in el paso tx not many ppl know what a swap is...so engines are not all that cheap.
