Should I do a KA swap into my Z


AK-Z

Recommended Posts

Should I do a KA24 swap on my Z? Stony mentioned to me that he has a KA that he wants to get rid of. I'm temped in doing this swap but, is it worth it? I know I would have to have a custom driveshaft and motor/tranny mounts.

 

I see the power to weight ratio being better with a KA swap.

 

I know that the 280z weighs something around 1200-1250 kg and a 240sx weighs about 1700 kg. with a KA motor it would be even lighter and stock HP or KA would be 140-155 hp, which would be easier to tweek for more HP.

 

Edit: Stony told me that is has a auto trans but has something wrong with it.

Ok. I decided to go ahead with it. The motor has (from stony's guess) 130K miles on it. My L28's have well over that. Any thing that I might run into with the swap?

 

So I guess I have some L28 goodies up for grabs then. They aren't on the engine, I also have complete stock L28 engines, N42 and N47.

 

Other things I have up for grabs are:

 

zx83 turbo distributor

dizzy/oil pump shaft for turbo and NA

83 Turbo oil pump

NA oil pump

 

I'll list more later. PM an offer and ask to see if I have other parts.
