Ka24de motor questions

[vector601]

Will an s14 ka24de block work in my s13 with my s13's head? I notice that the distributor is different.

suposedly the head gasket is different but it seems no one will confirm or denie it, i had a post about it like 2 months ago and some said no, some said but there was only like 23 replies, and one just said they are the same motor, which we know isnt right, their is something for sure differnt with the cam towers i guess, but suposedly one head bolt is moved.

im swapping a 95 KA into my S13 right now...
the S13 head should fit into an S14 head... everything is the same except for the external part..(bolts for brackets but you dont need those)
as for distributor...
pull that S14 distributor put your S13 distributor in..
thats it..
good luck man

most the brackets and every thing are the same...i have both motors, the headgaskets are different part numbers at nissan..... the valve covers arent interchangeable, suposedly they have one less cam tower or cam bridge or something? and the water temp sensor/distributor are different.

if i get a chance i ll take the valve cover off my spare s14 motor

I am running an s13 head on my s14 right now.. so I dont see why they wouldnt go the other way. I know Aceinhole also did this for a while, he helped me with my swap.

I swaped my dead s13 ka with a 95 s14 ka are everything was the same except the valve cover, distributor, and exhaust recirculation lines on the intake manifold. Alot is diffrent on the s14 intake manifold then the s13 manifold. So I just used my old s13 intake manifold to make things alot easier. Other then that most of everything is the same.

i used the a s14 intake manifold on my s13 and removed the egr. the only thing i had then that was wrong was my water temp gauge doesnt work until i change the water temp sensor. i only used the runner portion of the intake

I only swaped the head and valve cover,. and had some fun with cams ^_^
I am still using the s14 intake mani, and s14 distributer.
