i have a 95 240 with a bad motor and an automatic. with the purchase of the car i got a 93 motor and 5-speed. my question is can i use all s13 parts for my swap (driveshaft, pedals, crossmember, slave cyl. master cyl. hard lines, ect.) i'm sure the motor and transmission will bolt in right? but the reason i'm wanting to use all s13 parts is my friend with the 93 is doing a swap and wont be needing most of the stuff so i will get it for free. any help would be great.

Should be direct bolt on, however, there may be some differences in the engine wiring. You may have to use the S13 wiring harness but if you go that route, there will be tons of wiring work you have to do. I'd try to salvage as much stuff from your S14 engine as possible. Onlything you should transfer over is the engine, head, and transmission.

first, there is major differences in the engine harness so use the one thats in the car to begin with. second, the clutch pedal bracket is different, the s14 has a spacer built into the clutch pedal bracket, if you use the s13 clutch pedal assembly, you will find that the bolt that go through the firewall and to the clutch master will tighten a long way and the bolt will pull though quite a bit due to the missing spacer. if you ignore this and decide to drive the car, the pedal bracket will eventually break. everything else should bolt together just fine.
