Possible KA Purchase

Again...shouldn't be enough to steer someone away from a 240sx KA when it had been installed with little effort.

 

 

More than one way to skin a cat.

Only problem is that he doesn't have the ecu, intake, etc.

actually started looking for some D21's locally and found a few. Would the transmission in the D21 fit in the 620 or do you think I should just keep the 5 speed I have (was just rebuilt a few months ago) and find a z series front case?

The D21 transmission is stronger and fits the KA block, obviously. Why bother with the old one and converting it? The 2wd D21 transmission is slightly shorter than the 620 transmission. The 240zx is 3-4" longer.

Ehh just because I spent some money to get it fixed. But now that I know the D21 transmission will fit, I agree with you on doing that swap.

For the $300 he's asking, I would buy all of it, and then also buy a D21 truck motor. Swap over all the car intake stuff instead of the D21 throttle body crap, and have a ton of extra spares left over.

 

 

This is how my green truck was done by Icehouse. All of the goods fit in a tidy package.

I have a d21 engine & tranny on mine, you'll need to modify the tranny mount or slot it, no big deal, go check out redeye's 620 build thread, everything you need to know is there

That is a smokin deal.

 

Drive it like it is a few times to get a feel for the condition. Look for leaks before you clean it, then pressure wash it while it's still in running condition so you can run it after the wash and make sure nothing important got wet (like water in the cylinders and inside the TPS box, etc). Best to know it runs great before you pull it so that if it doesn't run great after the swap, you have something to go on.
