I know this is in the wrong place but I need an immediate answer because the KA forum just doesnt get enough people.

I am planning on getting a rebuilt KA24E stanza block for my S13. So I was wondering if they were identical?

Thanks

I'm gonna step and guess no, as most transaxle engines have differing engine mount locations/designs than longitudinal engines. Hence the reason you cannot use fwd sr20's in 240's. GL

the 240 ka's are not even the same... mainly because the power steering is on the other side on the sohc..... but thats even the 240 ka's!! let alone a ka out of a FWD car lol.... dohc is pretty much the same 91_98... there are a few differences
