280z-racer Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 is there a way to tell these two apart or are they the same and the mounts are interchangeable? i know the vq's differ but never got into a KA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 fast z Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Yes the engines are different. The dizzys are different, the heads are different, etc. As far as bolting up, to a RWD chassis, Im not realy sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
280z-racer Posted August 14, 2008 Author Share Posted August 14, 2008 i guess what im really gettin at is that im doing an engine swap on an altima and i just want to make sure i didnt get stuck with a truck or 240 motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nismo280zEd Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 I'll check my book, but from my understanding, the DOHC Ka24de are all the same. as far as bolting up etc. lots of brackets have to be swapped between chassis, but the blocks i'm pretty sure are all the same.

Kennysgreen280zt Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 the dizzy on the FWD sticks straight off the back of the head, on a RWD setup it sits in a similar position to an L motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subtle_driver Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 block on fwd engine does not have a cradle, has engine mount location in front... basicly too many differences. fwd is for fwd, rwd is for rwd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
