[Roadsters] some what OT: a motor question

[Pete Peters]

Yeah, if it's the NAPS (some folks call it the Nissan Anti-Performance System) Z24 with the crack-prone block, not a real deal. The trans bellhousing allows for the L/Z tilt, so would need to be swapped to fit a RWD SR20. FWD SR20 requires an adapter. 

Regarding a KA24 tranny to a SR20 engine, Googling found: 

"The KA and the SR MTs are basically identical. The only difference in the gear ratios is OD; the SR is 0.838, the KA is 0.759. To install the KA MT on the SR block, use the SR bellhousing in place of the KA bellhousing."

Gary is it a Z-24 (8 plugs) or a KA-24? I wouldn't mess with the Z-24, but a 
KA is a pretty good piece and a popular swap into 510s and roadsters. I 
doubt the tanny witll bolt up to the SR20.
