Engine is dead! Help me.

[BUCCANEER]

Hi yall I am new here. Infact this is my first thread.

Yall I need some help I own a 1990 240 sx. the engine is a bone stock KA24e. I geuss I spun a rod bearing or busted a rod I DONT KNOW.

but I am pulling the engine out to try and find one to replace it.

I talked to someone Who says he will sell me his used 140,000 mileKA24de for $1,800 and all I have is $650.00 I am so broke I can't finance a toothpick Does anyone might know where I could find a used KA24de for the $ I have I am willing to trade My 99 dakota for a real decent built engine BUT THE FACT IS I MUST GET MY CAR RUNNING SOON

Any help would be greatly apreciated.

anything more than like 250 or so for a ka24 is a HUGE rip off man. don't buy from that drunky....

[slipperypanda09]

yea both ka24 engines are really cheap. even rebuild kits can be found under 500 bones. you probly can just sell that truck and have enough money for a decent project. why not trade the truck for another s13 or s14?

[carkook]

That is a ridiculous amount for a ka. You could buy a decent s13 for that amount of money. I would also look for another sohc unless your looking to do a de swap. Keep looking for another motor screw that guy you can find one for a under 400 easy

[bwirth1999]

Yeah, no matter where in the country you are, anything over $500 is absurd, you should be able to find another KA anywhere for around 200-300..
