So from what I've read if I do the swap

I won't be able to use my AC compressor due to a bracket problem
Going to have to move my PS reservoir and do something with the high pressure line
My tach won't work
I won't be able to pull CEL codes
any ka24de motor and tranny. The sohc tranny will work if you have dohc bell housing.
s13 dohc ecu
s13 dohc wiring harness,
s13 dohc distrib, and coil
s13 dohc tach
s13 dohc throttle cable
s13 dohc maf sensor.
s13 dohc exhaust manifold, and factory downpipe.
s13 dohc intake. manifold, must be used if using a 94+block
s13 dohc air intake
s13 dohc powersteering lines
s13 dohc cruise control

is that about it?

I'm just confused as hell, I bought an 90 S13 with a 95 KA in it that doesn't run and I have no idea what he's done and what he hasn't. And unfortunately it doesn't run.

ya, I've read most if not all the write ups on how to do it. Just wanting to get a final confirmation, perhaps from someone who has done it themselves.

but thanks for adding a link in anyways.
