Well, I have found a Nissan Altima KA24DE engine, Its says its FWD. (Obviously)

But my question is, can I put it in my 240SX?

I have a blown KA24E, and am looking to upgrade to the DOHC KA24DE.

Would this work?

Thanks.Nick.

Don't have me coming off as an A$$hole.

But, I need to know for sure, I dont want to buy an engine that doesn't fit.

For instance. Would this motor swap in just fine?

I know that I need more parts than just the engine, But I need to know it will work.

Here it is:

Don't quote me on this, but I'm pretty sure it's more trouble than it's worth, just look on craigslist for one someone pulled out of a 240. If I'm not wrong, I believe the FWD version would put the airbox and stuff pointing towards the firewall, along with several other things.

Would you include everything for the swap?

ECU,Wiring, PS Pump, stuff like that?

And, would it fit in my manual transmission?

Thanks.Nick.

Nope, sorry. You're going to have to find a 240 DE motor

yeah, I hate replies that are like 'I think so'

In reality though, the FWD engine *could* work, but you'd be buying / finding a TON of parts to make it work right...simply not worth it.

You should be able to find one out of a 240sx pretty reasonably with all the engine swaps going on.

Many are probably dying to unload their KA24DE's and this may be a good excuse for them

it will include everything, its a complete drop out. and if you already have the manual transmission then yes it will bolt right up. nothing from the ka24de is compatible with the ls1 so everything int he engine bay excluding master cylinder will be included.
