Ive been looking to swap out my KA24E for a DE, the only low mileage engines are out of Altimas and Frontiers. The question is: Can i swap one of those motors in to my 89 240sx with ease or are they not anywhere close to each other?

You should be able to use the motors out of those vehicles, just double check that the engine is a ka24de and that the motors look alike. All you should need to do is swap the intake manifold, exhaust manifold, and some brackets i think.

you should just find a 100xxx mile kade from a 240 and rebuild it before swapping it.

that's what i did. no need to worry about high mileage if its getting rebuilt.
