yup...
The KA24DE block is the same... but the intake manifolds are different, the compression ratio is slightly lower and the exhaust cam is smaller in the Frontier engine...
The S14 KA24DE has 232/232 cams... The Frontier KA24DE has 232/216 and is quite ball-less... I know, I daily drive a Frontier
Oh, and the Frontier engine is made in Mexico...

O and I was thinking more of the D21 hardbody pickup engine not the Frontier. And my chassis is an S13 not an S14.

Why is that? Never knew, could you explain. And yeah, that car is badass for drag racing. I wouldn't do it myself but I sure wouldn't mind driving it.
Mexico cast KA24 blocks are heavier built, mainly in the cylinder walls. They also retain more dimensions carried over from the earlier Z series, crankshaft length, starter configuration, and main bearing arrangement. Available for these mexico blocks is a variety of high quality racing components, including (but not limited to) dry sump oil pans, high torque lightweight starters, and billet steel flywheels. 95% of ka24 used in actual sanctioned race use are mexicos.

Well, I have decoded my vin and all it tells me is the 4th digit is an H signifying the KA24E engine, and the car was built at plant W in Kyushyu Japan. If you know something in the vin's scoot that I don't please enlighten me. :thumbsup

So if I do this do I need to buy 240sx or Frontier engine parts to do the rebuild?

I was gonna use the block and head cuz right now I got no engine. Would using the head make a huge diff? I'm planning on putting SOHC pistons in it but that's pretty much it on the bottom end is there anything else that needs/should be done to make the SOHC pistons work in the DOHC block?

So is it going to complicate my build a bunch to use a Frontier engine and head? Would I just be better off holding out for a 240 engine? There is a guy on here that is close to me and says he has some buddies with KA engines sitting around.
