Charlie69 Posted April 23, 2021 Report Share Posted April 23, 2021 Just a suggestion start your own thread on your KA install and have the mods move all the posts and replies into it so it is easier to follow for us old folks. Quote Link to comment

]2eDeYe Posted June 21, 2021 Report Share Posted June 21, 2021 Yes it has the same bolt pattern and starter location. The same basic transmission was in use throughout the Datsun Nissan timeline FW71 is the base # A was the early 5-speed, B is the mid era and C is in use up to the Frontier. The bolt pattern changed when Nissan went from the L20 to the NapZ engine family and the KA has the same pattern. 1 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted June 21, 2021 Report Share Posted June 21, 2021 Weight? Is that Texan for wait? The 720 transmission weighs about 70 pounds. The Z series and the KA series engines sit at the same angle and the mounting bolt patterns for the transmissions are the same. So yes, the 71B 4 or 5 speed from a 720 will bolt to a KA24E or DE. You should be aware that the 71C transmission from a KA engine is about twice as strong as the earlier 720 71B transmission. The KA engine is about 50% more powerful so a 71C is the better choice 1 1 Quote Link to comment
Bryant Posted March 14, 2022 Report Share Posted March 14, 2022 Why would a frontier KA be more difficult? I have been searching for a 240 KA but haven’t been able to find one for a decent price. Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted March 15, 2022 Report Share Posted March 15, 2022 It considered more difficult as the engine harness is integrated into the truck harness. Quote Link to comment

S14 head has a part in the cast that blocks the throttl cable. Its a pain in the ass but easy to fix. I was able to track down a s14 set up for a reasonable price. What is the fix for the throttle cable issue ? Quote Link to comment
konig209 Posted May 13, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2022 So ive got alot of revizing to do. Even show how to wire the alt. But i veen working alot. But I learned somehow i mixed up parts and the water pump pulley is to be left alone. And the single cam pulley is somehow bigger byva cunt hair. Trust me i removed it a buncha times and the belt would work with one but bot the other. Quote Link to comment
BradyZ Posted August 27 Report Share Posted August 27 Anyone try this with a 1968 520? If so what issues/differences did you run into? Quote Link to comment

Does this have a J series engine? If so the main difference is the the stock engine mounts at the frame will not work, they need to be cut off. I have weld on frame side mounts that replicate the 620 frame mounts which make the rest of the swap the same as the later trucks. Quote Link to comment
BradyZ Posted August 27 Report Share Posted August 27 Awesome! Looks like I’ve got the L16 in it right now but the data plate says J series. Do you sell mounts for both? Quote Link to comment

If the truck has the stock Lseries frame configuration you would not need the weld on frame side mounts. You would just need my engine side mounts. It really depends on how they swapped the L16 in there. Do you have pictures? Quote Link to comment

I’m not sure if the ‘68 520 and ‘69 521 frames are the same or not. Thanks Pidge. 1 Quote Link to comment

They should also work in a 320, but I have not verified if the frame width is the same on those.. 1 Quote Link to comment
pidge Posted September 1 Report Share Posted September 1 Thanks. I’m on the fence. I didn’t know you made KA mounts for the early 521 w/j13. Looking around online, those motors aren’t cheap anymore. Thanks again for responding to my question. I have some thinking to do. 👍👍👍 1 Quote Link to comment

From when I swapped a 720 balljoiint suspension onto my 320. It was a few inches difference. 1 Quote Link to comment

Stoffregen Motorsports Posted September 2 Report Share Posted September 2 Third party hosting. I read somewhere a long time ago that you needed a certain amount of posts before this site would allow you to post pics. Is this still true? Quote Link to comment
