I thought about getting a motor swap for my 91 240sx , but what i want to know is the ka20de worth it money wise to just build it up. Im looking for durability at first i know with lots of boost there is always a chance of blowing or messing something up..so should i rebuilt the ka before i build it up or go with a sr swap

All I'll tell you to do is search cuz someone is probably gonna flame you. In my opinion I like the Idea of swaps but it all depends on what you goal is do a bit so research before you ask qeustions like this. Also its a KA24DE by the way not KA20DE. Btw .4 litres is a big difference in displacement.

Check out the various engine forums on this site and read on up. It all comes down to you personal preference and budget. There can be a million engine vs engine arguments, but in the end, it's all about what works best for you.
