Hey guys well I recently bought a 89 HB and it has lots of rust under the body. But my question is can the ka24e go into a 91 to 94 s13 chassis?? I might end up getting a s13 shell but don't know what year it is. Cause my friends friend is selling it, but he's out of the country, he's in Bahamas :naughty: . So I'll know by the end of this week. Also if the swap is possible what rad would i use, the ka24de or the e if its in a de chassis?? And on a side note, when bleeding the clutch system do i have to cove the bleeder screw with a hose or I can leave to the atmosphere??

Yea it'd fit right in. But some of the wiring would be different.

Awsome. And the wiring that might be different, would it be like the tach wiring since it might be de chassis?? Also any pointers on what i should check for when the motor is out?? :poke:

just dont throw away any of the wiring from your E when you put it into the new chassis. you should be ok and you will figure it out from there.

Before the site changed i would show you this writeup a guy made for a kade to kae swap. I dont know how you'd get to it now.. Im sure someone on some other form has a write up for something like this. Google is your best pal.. Get the fsm for both 89 240 and 91 240. You can figure out which wires go where from there.
