]2eDeYe Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 Mine never went on a stand. The block is stock black and I went with red and chromish powder coat for color accents. :lol: This reminds me I want to start a 620 KA thread to get all the swaps into one thread. 2 Quote Link to comment

jvb5577 Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 A - the search fuunction on the site itself blows B - ive already seached via google C - trololololol I have to agree with A. It seems like it searches just the most recent topics with your results...Not the best. Quote Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted October 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 option B is the way to go in google just type Ratsun.net - KA24DE 620(or whatever your after) Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 A - the search fuunction on the site itself blows B - ive already seached via google C - trololololol A - It works great if you know exactly what you are looking for (already read or wrote a certain phrase that you can pull and search). B - Google works. C - Put some pics together in this thread already. Quote Link to comment
mhub91 Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 It's not a 620, but it's getting swapped into my '79 Stanza HLA510. ......and sorry for all the pics. i'm just excited, and satisfied with my swap :) Note the nifty drive belt situation. Keep in mind our old Datto's don't have power steering, therefore we have to remove it from the KA24DE. To do that you need... KA24E water neck, upper alt bracket, lower alt bracket, 35" THREE ribbed V-Belt. Then it's pretty self-explanatory. Remember to grind down the upper alt bracket to the belt doesn't hit it.... 2 Quote Link to comment
mhub91 Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 Redeye.... what did you do with all the vacuum hardlines on the backside of your KA head? Those lines are to (mostly) IAC..... hm... Quote Link to comment

It's a KA thread not a 620 thread :) I've found that running the belt on the back grooves causes premature wear on the belt and squealing after a short while. Running it on the forward grooves now and haven't had any other issues. KA24E Parts need for the power steering delete. Alternator brackets (upper and lower) and thermostat housing. Redeye.... what did you do with all the vacuum hardlines on the backside of your KA head? Those lines are to (mostly) IAC..... hm... Nothing, they are all still hooked up. The only thing not factory on my KA is the filter on the valve cover for the vent, stock it runs to the intake tube. I even have the KA Charcoal canister hooked up. Quote Link to comment
Boaty Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 After closer inspection, I am wondering if I can even polish my timing cover on the KA. I want to, since... I polish everything I can. But yeah those are mine. :D 2 Quote Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted October 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 great pics guys!!! figured id ask it here but what has everyone done with the vacuum stuff on the back of the cyl head? Quote Link to comment
mhub91 Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 Redeye, your first post, second pic shows the abc side of your head. No vacuum hard lines? Eagle Adam, keep them. Some run to the idle air control and are necessary for cold start and runability. You can remove egr like we did, but not necessary. Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 This link is to the time chain idler gear fix, the second link is to the fix for the fix. It's holding up great so far. http://community.ratsun.net/topic/22191-1977-620-kingcab-deluxe/page-23 http://community.ratsun.net/topic/22191-1977-620-kingcab-deluxe/?p=975443 After closer inspection, I am wondering if I can even polish my timing cover on the KA. I want to, since... I polish everything I can. But yeah those are mine. :D Do it! You will want to clear coat when your done to keep it nice. I was lazy and got chrome powder coat, turned out pretty nice and no maintenance except soap and water. :D Redeye, your first post, second pic shows the abc side of your head. No vacuum hard lines?Eagle Adam, keep them. Some run to the idle air control and are necessary for cold start and runability. You can remove egr like we did, but not necessary. They were tucked up out of the way while installing the transmission, they were never removed or modified. EGR is still there as well. Quote Link to comment
