I have purchased a 91 240sx with a blown ka24e, now I live up north where there are absolutely no 240's so I did research and I have found another way, a nissan hardbody truck. Is it possible to swap the engine out of the hardbody truck to the 240sx? could I swap the engines? has anyone heard of anyone doing this? also the ka24e on the nissan hardbody has a different intake filter, could I just swap the intake manifolds? and valve covor? here are some pictures let me know what you think

Thats gonna be a huge downgrade for your 240. But it will fit because people actually take 240 motors and put them in trucks. But if that's your only options than go for it.....also if you have smog inspection you cannot put an older motor in a newer car.
