Looking for clarification on flipping the center link for a KA24DE from a Frontier

I’m slowly doing prep work for an eventual KA swap, part of which is rebuilding my 40 year old suspension. I figured while I had everything out I’d flip the center link to prepare for a KA swap.

My question is that I swore I read that if you used a KA from a Frontier that flipping the center link wasn’t necessary but of course now I can’t find the comment/thread that I read that in. Would it be best to just go ahead and flip the center link since I have everything out and have already purchased the new inserts? I don’t have an engine yet so there’s a possibility that I won’t go with the Frontier (tho it’s my plan to use that motor /trans)

There’s really no downside to having the center link flipped right? If I don’t need to and I did, no big. If I DO need to and I didn’t, that would suck lol

Not necessary if using any truck KA due to being rear sump. Front sump KA from cars require flipping of the center link.

No. Like I said, its only car KA. Regardless of DE or E. It's because of the car engines being front sump. They interfere with steering.

 

All truck ka, regardless of DE or E are rear sump and fit perfect.
