nismopu Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 Depends on where your steering linkage is. Is it run like a 510s behind the crossmember? If it is then no its easier to flip the crossmember and run a front sump. peace. Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted October 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 would the truck ka be better for the car swap as well considering its rear sump? no flipping the x member? I've looked under 1 610 (very rare rigs) the suspension seems 100% the same as a dime. That being said (if I'm correct, it was raining and the car was lowered..) The truck rear sump pan still interferes with the steering link on a dime if you just drop the engine in using the factory mounts. Rear sump is the way to go if you don't plan on doing rack and pinion. Quote Link to comment

Bugeye Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 ok so I have an odd question, if i have a car KA is it possible to put the truck oil pan on it? I am seriously thinking about putting a KA into the 521 Quote Link to comment
0.C. Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 ok so I have an odd question, if i have a car KA is it possible to put the truck oil pan on it? I am seriously thinking about putting a KA into the 521 It won't work. Truck and car blocks are different. I've been working on a s14 KA swap into my 521 .I did some measurements and it seems that the pans clears the cross member but might have to modify the steering rod. Once I get my cherry picker I'll confirm this. Quote Link to comment
BEEBANI Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 Actually, the car and truck ka blocks are virtually the same except for the main bearing girdle on the car ka's. From what I've read, and frontier oil pan almost bolts right on to a car block. Nismopu.....where you at buddy? Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted November 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 That orange 620 had a car KA in it with a truck pan. The dip stick no longer works and you have to beat the fuck out of it to get it to fit. Besides that it works :D Quote Link to comment

0.C. Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 I havent got a hold of a truck pan, I was just saying by looking at both gaskets. What about the oil pick up tube? Can you use a truck's tube on a car's block? Can't wait till my cherry picker arrives! :mad: Quote Link to comment
project620 Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 I gotta quick question on the KA swap. I got my KA in my 620 and i am see that the water pump pulley is too close to the radiator inorder to put in an electric fan..? wat kind of fans r u using and can i see a pic? Quote Link to comment
BEEBANI Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 I put a puller/pusher fan on the front of my radiator. 10" guy I got off egay. Quote Link to comment
project620 Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 between the rad and the grille or between the rad and the engine? Quote Link to comment
project620 Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 i've seen some that way. Quote Link to comment
BEEBANI Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 between the radiator and the grille. That's what I meant by in front. Quote Link to comment
nismopu Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 s13 240sx's came with either a single cam or dual KA, the ka24e(single cam) is years from 89-90. Ka24de(dual cam) is in all 240sx's from 91-97 varrying body shapes but virtually the same engine. The ka24e used in the 240sx is the same as ALL truck blocks including the frontier. They share all the same attributes and can interchange parts from eachother. The 91-97 KA24de's block share nothing except physical dimensions like bearing sizes, bore, pistons, rods, and a few other things can interchange. Now far as oil pan swapping goes only car ka24e, truck ka24e, and truck ka24de(frontier) can swap oil pans. The only problem is the dipstick problem but that can be resolved with a drill. peace.

project620 Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 so the 10' fan theres no issue of overheating cuz here in so cal it can get pretty damn hot in the summer.... Quote Link to comment
BEEBANI Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 There's enough room for 2, but so far I haven't had any trouble. Quote Link to comment
0.C. Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 so the 10' fan theres no issue of overheating cuz here in so cal it can get pretty damn hot in the summer.... When I had the L16 I was running a Rabbit radiator and a 10' fan in between the grill and the rad. Never overheated during the hot SoCal weather. Quote Link to comment

TrevDaddy Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 I got a good deal on a Ka24DE from an 96 s14. I know I will have to do some pan modifications to get it all to work. Will this be a good place to start? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/OIL-PAN-Frontier-Nissan-Pickup-90-91-92-95-96-97-98_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem5d26fa9ab6QQitemZ400085916342QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories I know some tweaking will be necessary to get it to fit, but is it worth buying?
