patrickh Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 I bought a 72 620 about a month ago and since have started tearing it down to do a little body work and fix all the little stuff. It will also be getting a ka24de transplant soon. I'll post as the project progresses. Thanks everyone who has posted write up's and info about the swap and brakes and etc. 3 Quote Link to comment

Tristin Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 Welcome to the site... looks like a great start. Make sure you look around and soak up all the info you can. Hit up Redeye or search out KA/620 mounts when youre ready to drop that block in the truck. 1 Quote Link to comment
patrickh Posted November 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 I've already messaged redeye about the mounts so i have that figured out. I read in another ka24de swap write up that the 720 5 speed manual trans bolts up to the ka24. I'll find out this weekend i guess after i pull the cab off and pull the motor out if that's gonna work.

Just make sure it's a later transmission from behind the NAPZ motor. Truck looks straight and clean, nice find :cool: Quote Link to comment

patrickh Posted December 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 I'm about ready to go back together. Just need to get a couple more parts ordered. Also what clutch/flywheel setup is anyone using with the 720 5 speed trans on the ka??? Quote Link to comment
KlassicMotion Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 I'm about ready to go back together. Just need to get a couple more parts ordered. Also what clutch/flywheel setup is anyone using with the 720 5 speed trans on the ka??? First off, what parts do you have? Do you have a flywheel? What's it from? Do you have the clutch and pressure plate from the transmission? etc... I think you will find you need to match the clutch and pressure plate to the transmission throw out collar (so the clutch and pressure plate need to match the trans), but at the same time, make sure those bolt to the KA flywheel. The KA flywheel that I had was a 225mm... I'm not sure what your NAPZ transmission used, though I suspect it was the 225mm. I presume the KA is from a car, then the flywheel will be lighter than the typical truck flywheel. If you don't intend to haul much with the 620, then go with the KA flywheel...... This might help a little: http://community.ratsun.net/topic/58641-release-bearing-collar-throwout-bearing-collar-selection/ 1 Quote Link to comment
patrickh Posted January 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 The engine is from an automatic 240sx so i'll have to buy a flywheel and i was just checking to see what will work. Thanks for the info and the link. It's much appreciated Quote Link to comment
