ka24de into 87 d21 power steering lines??

So like the title says, i've got an 87 d21, 4x4, with a ka24de out of a 95 240sx swapped in. I've worked out most of the kinks but i'm not sure where to start with the power steering lines and I was curious to see if any of you have already solved this problem. I was thinking I could go with some AN...

hey man, for what it's worth(since mine isn't running yet) it's doable for sure. I've got the same set up as you, oil pan needs to be modded but i've got the pan done, motor installed and bolted up to the transmission, turns over just need to rewire the fuel pump and install the rad and i can start ...

I was hoping there was something else that engages the starter, i had to drill out the tapped holes on the starter to bolt it up to the truck tranny, maybe it's not aligned properly or something like that. The harness is laid in there pretty rough at the moment, the first thing i should do is dress ...

i'm not sure exactly what you mean there, all the wiring in the harness for the starter is connected, my brother tried shorting the starter and it spins but wouldn't engage, hopefully he didn't blow anything on me there. How would i manually trigger it?

Thanks for the reply btw

95 ka swapped into 87 hardbody, won't crank

Hey folks, I'm in the process of swapping a 95 ka24de into my 87 hardbody. The motor is bolted up, harness is rough routed and all the easy stuff is connected, grounding is temp hooked up for the most part. I tried turning the motor over just to see if it would and it wouldn't. Power to the dash, i ...

i'm open to it, to be honest i've never done more then a straight across swap so i'm currently trying to sort through mountains of info exploring my options, i'll check that other forum out, where is a good place to look for the stand alone system?

Z24i->ka24->ka-t computer issues with truck?

Tried this one in the truck forum with no replys, maybe it's a little more lively in here. Okay, i've been searching and having some trouble getting concrete info so i thought i'd make a thread. I have an 87 z24i king cab 4x4. Eventually i'd like to go with a turbo'ed ka24, probably the single cam a...
