]2eDeYe Posted September 8, 2013 Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 Question, Why if you had the KA 5 spd, buy and use a 720 5 spd? Radio It makes it a direct bolt in no slotting of the cross member. I don't know what your talking about and I try searching I can find anything maybe put up same links http://community.ratsun.net/topic/537-how-to-wire-a-ka-ca-sr-and-vg-into-anything/ Link, but it looks like you found it already :) 1 Quote Link to comment

When i did my sr swap in my datsun 620 he hooked me up with the can am box with in a week. It was the last one he had at the time of purchase. lol 1 Quote Link to comment
620Soldier Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 I'm pretty sure I might have a slight wiring issue. KA24E in a 620. If I have the black with white stripe wire connected at the wrong end, would everything fire up and function, but lack spark? After going through a few pages looking for my issue, I think I found this one might be it. I'm gonna be pretty embarrassed if that's the case. I'm still combing for more picks and dummy diagrams to make sure that I have everything all nice and tight the way it should be. 1 Quote Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 did this truck ever get running???? i googled a few things for my KA swap and came across this build, that pedal box look s a lot like one i shipped out from my brothers wrecked long bed! 1 Quote Link to comment
bluebird4200 Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 Did a little work yesterday to the KA.Transmission, Clutch plate, Throwout bearing & Clutch (Things look good, newish plate and clutch, so I'm pretty sure I'm not gonna replace these parts, more money for other things!)Flywheel (Newish, but I did get the Fidanza Flywheel to put in more Oics to come for that!)Stock ( 20sih lbs )Fidanza ( 10ish lbs )Motor Stand Transmission (Out of a 1980 Datsun 720 Pickup BOTTOM in the picture Craigslist Special $100, KA24DE Transmission TOP )Thats it for now.. Slowly but surely with the progress, still waiting on Icehouse to get less busy, to get one of his CanAm boxes.... What transmission plate are you using? The one that I have is on my Ka but the transmission doesn't exactly line up. I started grinding and opening up the hole to make it fit, but if I can buy something that fits . That would be better.

ggzilla Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 Use the engine plate that matches the engine. * if your KA24DE came from a pickup, use the D22 engine plate * if your KA24DE came from a 240SX, use a 240SX engine plate Quote Link to comment

I guess I will just fabricate to make it fit older transmission. Quote Link to comment
bluebird4200 Posted July 17, 2014 Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 Yes the motor and trans can be bolted together before they get dropped in check out my build "79 620 l20b I just dropped mine in last weekend I used a s13 240sx motor and trans have to have the trans member out to install Thank you!

BlackBird620 Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 Welcome man did it twice with same motor n trans Quote Link to comment
bluebird4200 Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 I had to use the 1975 motor mounts. I could not get the engine to sit on the motor mount and be centered on the studs. I must have a later 1974 model as my mounts were from a 1975??? Weird! so I am having some issues with my center link being clear of the oil pan sump. I think I have it figured out though. I will post some pictures of my idler and pitman arms. I think everyone who used Goferits will be interested to see what I have done to try and solve the clearance issue. 1 Quote Link to comment

Cesar510 Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 @xxmass thanks for the comments!! I'm really excited to get going!! I've done other swaps before, but this is by far the most excited i've been for one!! @mopar if someone is in the area and is traveling up there i'll be happy to throw the auto stuff in a truck and give it to a fellow Ratsun member! @]2eDeYe giving you full credit for this swap! your build thread is the reason I'm doing this! Hope this thread helps as much as many of the threads have helped me out while compiling the parts and putting this together, I will try to be as thorough throughout the process as the other member have been!! Well... Off to more Oics!! Picked up something today and forgot to post another so here we go!! Fidanza Flywheel ( I haven't pulled the transmission yet to look at the condition of the clutch and flywheel, but i couldn't pass this deal up found on craigslist $100!! Now I'm searching to find a good price on a clutch.. Any recommendations? I love Nissan parts) ]2eDeYe's KA24DE/E Motor Mounts ( A must if your doing this swap!! Hit him up I'm sure this is going to give me alot less headache along the way!! Thanks ]2eD!!!!) Butt Shot Head Shot Quote Link to comment

mikeanike99 Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 what happened to this build? 1 Quote Link to comment
Moist Lightning Posted June 15, 2017 Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 Hi,I just wanted to point out that the tapered inserts you installed are way too big. You might as well have welded you pitman and idler arm together; the TRE has no movement and the boot is squashed.I will be doing a write up on how to get teraflex inserts to fit like stock soon. * I know this is old build but lots of people are following it so i wanted to inform the community too. 2 Quote Link to comment
