Great video and yes, people are gouging for these parts! I refuse to pay that much for those pieces, especially when there are other options that work just as fine. There are a few combinations you can use. I have 3 Datsuns with KA's and they all have different combos. The only thing that is common on my conversions is that I use the Datsun L series top alt. bracket. If the top L series bracket has a bend on it, you might need to straiten it out. I know I did. For the bottom brackets (bolted to the side of the block), you can use one from a 720 or D21, or from a 89-90 KA. For the belt, I used a 3 rib 365 (Continental 4030365), but you can use shorter or longer length belts (Roger is using a 350). I bought the short thermostat housing from Nissan (13049-40F00) or you can get it at Amazon (made by Dorman 902-5004). My first KA actually has the original tall thermostat housing and it barely clears the belt. Hope this helps and works for you.
Hey, just came across your channel, interested in following this build so I subscribed. I've got a ka24de and most everything I need to drop it into my 620. I haven't had the chance to run through your other vids yet but what are you planning to do for wiring? Will you go the CAN/AM wiring box route? Or wire yourself with a few relays? Also OEM harness? Cheers
Wiring specialties harness with added fuses & relays. Send me a message on Instagram and I’ll get you connected with the guy that’ll make the harness plug and play

Thank you! Very useful info here
Bro, thank you for making this video. I learned a lot about KA just watching your videos
🔥🔥
Hell yeah, putting a ka in my 69 510 wagon
That’s awesome!

Hey man, do the alternator brackets specifically have to be from a 89-90 240sx or just from a KA24E? Thanks!
i think any ka24E
