Hey guys... yes i have searched so don't say it! The posts are stretched so thin and far its just easier to ask... Okay so i bought a 1993 240 its a salvage title cause of MAD frame rust... but under the hood is a pretty good condition Ka24de with 230k KMs on it. Right now i have a 1990 240sx with a leaky sohc head bad injectors and some other big problems but the frame and body has no rust on it. Okay now what i am asking is what will i need to take out of the 1993 to make the swap work? the transmission is auto so i am using my manual from my 1990 so that makes taking the engine out easier. Fast info please cause my parents don't want this car sitting here for no longer then 2 weeks. I wanna get everything out and into boxes so i can rebuild the engine and put it in. Please help no flaming please

In a nutshell: The engine (obviously), the main wiring harness (everything connected to something on the engine itself, and a strand that splinters off along the fenderwell under the overflow bottle and connencts to 2 big connectors right behind the driverside headlight) the ECU, the intake tube (noting the direction of the vacuum tubes), the exhaust manifold, throttle cable (held onto the firewall by 2 10mm? nuts), the MAF sensor, new heater hoses.You will recycle the SOHC lower wiring harness (hooks up to the transmission/starter/alternator. The flex plate and the flywheel as well as the starter.
