demo243 Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 Anyone in the Seattle area have a ka block I could borrow? Looking to have a custom rear sump pan made and ray at garage autohero said he could , but he needs a block. Unfortunately I'm down in San Fran and it's not cost effective to send a block up to him. 1 Quote Link to comment
Lockleaf Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 Just curious, but is there a reason a frontier oil pan wouldn't work? Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 Depends. If the future DE is from an S14 a Frontier pan won't fit. Quote Link to comment
demo243 Posted May 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 Yea - its a 240sx motor so the frontier pan wont fit. I believe the frontier pan does clear perfectly either... Right now, once the xmember is flipped and I buy a new sway bar its not far from the cost of a custom pan... and Id much rather have a custom pan and not have my oil pan hanging out in front 1 Quote Link to comment
Lockleaf Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 Ah, yeah. Crank girdle. Forgot about that. Quote Link to comment
Jester Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 Have him get one from a local yard. Find a block that is shit house. Quote Link to comment
q-tip Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 I'm surprised they don't have one laying around. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 I suppose if making a pan anyway, you could weld the Frontier bottom to the S14 top so it clears. Quote Link to comment

You need to make a pickup too, not sure the frontier one clears the girdle. Solid suggestion though, mine is just the s13 flange flipped around and modified all to hell. Quote Link to comment
Rjawm Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 Frontier DE uses the Mexico made E block from earlier trucks. It's why you can use all the front case parts and timing setup when doing a DE head swap on an E block and not have to machine it to fit. Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 Have him get one from a local yard. Find a block that is shit house. You never see a 240sx in the yards here, not sure why. Of course, I haven't seen a 620 in the yards in a while either. 2 Quote Link to comment
