i have a 1990 240sx fastback 5 speed manual with a ka24e with 145k miles

i just recently bought the car and honestly, i dont think the motor is going to last much longer, the CEL recently came on, the oil pressure light came on when i had good oil and good level, but went off after i changed the oil a couple more times, the EGR valve is malfunctioning, and i hear some ticking from my valve cover

i'm planning on swapping to a ka24de from 91-94 240sx's to keep the s13 simplicity, since i'm a complete n00b when it comes with 240, this is my first one

what parts can i keep when i do the swap over to DOHC, and what parts do i need to change for sure?
-transmission, i heard they're the same
-motor mounts, are they the same?
-wiring harness, can i use my stock s13 harness?
-radiator and hoses?

Nah, change over that harness, hoses as well, radiator as well

I have a KA24DE sitting if you need parts, Pm me, with what you'll need, & i'll consider giving them up, I need to get rid of a couple of engines in the yard anyhow, so 1st come 1st serve
