I am swapping an L24 into my 240SX. I have heard many things about S13s and L series engines and have seen a few L28 in 240sx's. I need to know will the L series bellhousing bolt to my existing KA 5spd?. I have heard of people swapping in an RB crossmember and using Z car mounts. Is this legit? What tranny crossmember mods need to be done to use the existing shifter location?
I see that the firewall may have to be massaged for clearance. I am not concerned about any fabrication that may have to be done. I am skilled in that area.
I am planning to bore the 24 block to use 28 flatop pistons. The rotating assembly will be forged except for the crank. I will have a decent street/strip style cam. Will an L28 head bolt to a 24, if so I will use the L28 head that I have. I'm going to build a 4 barrell intake manifold with short runners. Will a 390cfm carb suffice or can I get away with a 500cfm unit?
As for the header i was thinking about buying a 240z header and modifying it to work with my chassis, other wise i will hand build one with equal length primaries.
I would appreciate feedback from experienced builders, and or people who can direct me to someone who has done this swap.
Please be respectfull, i wont be talked out of this. Im doing this for fun and I don't really care how much power I make.
Thanks
Mac
