no.

it should, u have to change the mounts, as far as wiring wont be plug in play as im sure they made a diff harness. OH, and the hardbody ka is tuned different, so ur car will be slower, more torque, but slower with lower redline.

Im not sure but hardbody pickups up until a certain point are not ka's in fact they are Z24 and Z24i's ....

I would personaly stay awy from this and buy a twin cam at least. (lower miles)

rs13240 · 12-18-2005, 06:44 AM

the truck im getting the motor out of has a ka in it its not a z24 only the older ones have it in it and the truck im gettin the motor out of it a 95

SRd240sx · 12-18-2005, 03:02 PM

it's not exactly bolt on, so if that's what you're looking for, you're better off swapping in another KA24E

rs13240 · 12-18-2005, 09:36 PM
