DATASS SON Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 So I don't normally use Ratsun besides to just troll around but finally uploaded my progress pics on my computer so heres a couple of pics i have of the progressing of my project datsun. It is a 1976 Datsun that i bought as my first car sophomore year in High School for $300. I ended up coming across a totaled 1993 240sx KA24DE at auction and decided to pick it up for an engine swap and started driving it the beginning of my senior year. Took me a while going on three years now to finish with upgrades such as full suspension, exhaust, rust removal, little things here and there and I'm just about ready to throw a Holset HX30 turbo in it :D Also i just turned 18 in july and drive this as my daily to college now. Hope you see what you like feel free to comment and lemme know what you think of it thanks! :thumbup: 4 Quote Link to comment

Thanks man picked everything out myself and yeah apparently the owner of the 240 drifted into a solid wall and thats how it ended up there but luckily the crash didn't reach the engine Quote Link to comment

1973dat620ka24 Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 Hi , i have a 1973 datsun 620, and i am strugleing with clearance issues with my ka24de swap, i dont think i will be able to fit a fan inbetween the radiator and the pully, i cant find custom motor mounts to have the engine sit further back, please help, anyone Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 Leave the fan blades off. Get an electric fan that pushes air from in front through the rad. Quote Link to comment

The crossmember needs to be slotted to move the engine closer to the firewall. This will get you plenty of room for a fan. I replied to your PM about my mounts. You will still need to slot the crossmember and my mounts will center the motor in the transmission tunnel. Here is a picture of where the motor should sit. Link to the thread on my mounts. http://community.ratsun.net/topic/39780-620-ka24-motor-mount-brackets/ There is a lot of information in that thread as well as a few links to more information.
