What to do with the KA....

[Redline240]

First off i'm a newbie but i've been reading here for a while, and my quesiton is a little Datsun related but seeing as how their fourm is never used i figued i'd post here.....

I own a 95 240sx SE and i'm wondering what i can put my KA24DE into when i swap....i know it'll fit a nissan truck, but will it fit an older Datsun, like a 240z or 280z....i want to use the engine, so does anyone have any suggestions, without the newbie remarks.....

Ive heard of alot of people putting KA's into older datsuns. Not sure on which models it works for but i think the 510 is an option.

yeah i heard about the 510 aswell but it's so dam ugly!!!!.....

bump, anyone know anything about this?

UGLY!! You are crazy. Whatever you put it in will really be a custom job.

Putting a KA into any Z is just wasting their wonderful L series engines, but I'm unaware of any common swaps among these cars. Like I said they will be custom.

Why not put the KA-DE into an S13 or something as a daily driver?

put it into an old 510 and turbo it. a guy near me has a KA24 SOHC turboed 5-10 runs like 12 second 1/4 miles..its a ****ing funny, fast, and UGLY car. but that makes it fun to smoke vettes...

well it's not for draging, it's for racing.....targa racing actually......and it'll be easier to get in with a datsun, don't ask why....and seeing as how i'll have a modded KA i might as well use it.....any ideas where i can find more info on this swap?
