Ok guys here we go. The KA and the myth of the truck engine.
The KA in the 240sx actually appeared before Nissan stuck the engine in the truck i.e. 1988 for the 89 model year. The KA in the truck appeared in 89 for the 90 model year.
Major differences: If you can call them major, are, throttle body injection vs port injection. Engine was retuned for Torque because thats what trucks use. 155 ft lbs of torque with 135 HP was the official factory rating for the truck and Nissan advertised these facts due to it being the most powerful for its class at the time. This engine used a flywheel with a larger clutch surface area aka 240mm vs 220mm on our engines. Hence this is where the White bunny mod idea came from.
Basically yes you can throw a 240sx KA engine in a truck lots of people have done it. In fact there used to be a member here on the forums in Arizona that put a DE in his.
