Another KA question (sorry)

[sick620]

There are so many ka ?'s on here and im sorry. I got a Ka24e out of a 240. My truck is a long bed and has the 2 piece driveline will this make for a problem with installation? I have read many threads on ka installation but I dont think I have on a long bed 620. Will i have to get the oil pan off of a hardbody to install the KA out of a 240sx? Thanks

I don't see a problem. Just shorten the front of the drive shaft.

 

The car oil pan is a front sump to allow the steering across the 240sx. The truck has steering and a cross brace at the front so a D-21 Hardbody pan is likely in order. The 240sx wiring is also better for swapping.

seems the length might pose a problem, measure twice and install once. lol i dont think you should run into problems. Do a write up when your done though to cover the topic!

the only difference between putting one into a long bed vs a short bed is the length of the driveshaft I would imagine. In anycase the driveshaft is gonna need modification anyways...

will i have to have a shop balance and cut it or is it possible to do it by myself?

have a shop do it. a driveline vibration will wear parts out as well as your caboose and teeth

to have a shop do mine costed me two cases of beer...first time at the shop, dont know why they wanted payment in beer. The shop was recommended to me by like 8 people. I threw in an extra case, so it ended up costing me about 75 bucks to get mine shortened and balanced, oh they painted it as well.
