Oz620 Posted September 11, 2016 Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 Hi Redeye, love your work. What issues if any do you foresee for a (aussie car) right hand drive 620 with a j series for a KA24E swap? regards Dan 1 Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted September 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 Hello Dan Thanks :) I think it would go a lot easier for RHD, especially if you are going to run a turbo. If you use a truck block you won't have to flip the center link. The major issue I can't say much on is the placement of the J series motor mounts at the frame and if the KA mounts will line up as nice as they do with the L series frame locations. Can you take some pictures of the motor mount to frame area on your truck? 1 Quote Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted September 12, 2016 Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 J engine are front mount engines not side mount like L,Z, SR, and KA. 1 Quote Link to comment
Oz620 Posted September 13, 2016 Report Share Posted September 13, 2016 RHD J15, Passenger side Drivers side 2 Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted September 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2016 Looks almost the same as the L trucks. Can you measure from the firewall to the center of the mount? 1 Quote Link to comment
Oz620 Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 its about 280mm to centre of mount. 1 Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted September 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 You mean 11" right? :rofl: The L-series mounts are approx. 12" or 305mm, so some adjustment fore aft will need to be made when fabricating your mounts. Or you could move the mounts on the frame side for a straight drop. Of course this doesn't take any differences in the vertical direction into account. Not sure what they are between the L and the J-series. 1 Quote Link to comment

Oz620 Posted September 15, 2016 Report Share Posted September 15, 2016 has anyone used the ka24 5 speed ? Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted September 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2016 Yep, lots of guys have. You have to slot the mount holes as the trans mount is further back. 2 Quote Link to comment

]2eDeYe Posted February 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 I sell them by PM basically. I will have more ready to ship in a couple weeks. I am picking up plates today and have to weld them up and get them powder coated. I sent you a PM so that I can let you know when they are ready. 2 Quote Link to comment

invalidusername Posted April 20, 2017 Report Share Posted April 20, 2017 I read through this thread but I may have missed it, has anyone tried these mounts with a 610? 1 Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted April 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2017 Not that I know of. If you have a KA and a 610, have you tried test fitting yet? They do work in the 620 & 720. 1 Quote Link to comment
invalidusername Posted April 20, 2017 Report Share Posted April 20, 2017 No to both. I'm planning ahead...again. Last time it was a 620KC that I was sure I was gonna get, the guy sold it the day after telling me he would trailer it to me. This time it is a 610 wagon for my wife. If I do get it, I will absolutely test fit. 1 Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted June 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 I know how that goes :) I added a link to the first post on a nice way to easily and cheaply flip the center link. Thanks to Moist Lightening for figuring this one out. :cool: Flipping the centerlink using a Teraflex Tapered Insert. 1 Quote Link to comment
