So I have done a search and found some very good info on swapping a Ca into my 91 240(kade) but i ve only started to scratch the surface i think. Hope someone can answer some questions:

1. i assume the ca fits right in to the 240's engine mounts?

2. driveshaft from 240 bolts up to ca trans?

3. I understand the rad,pwr steering lines all hook up but what about the harnesses and such?

4. (maybe a dumb ques.) will the front wheel drive engine mount in the 240 the same? I know I need a RWD trans. but a FWD engine and cpu is availible to me, and i can get a RWD harness

I guess some of these questions have been answered a 100 times but i am not to knowledgable on the ca. I would rather do the CA swap than the SR because i like the fact that it has forged internals good to 300bhp, which is about where i want to be. Thanks for all replies and sorry if these questions are repetitive!!!
