Omar, welcome!
Post pictures of your ride, and please post your location in your profile.
There is a ton of information here, you need to learn the Search feature, it is your friend!
Also there is a whole board index topic on Engine swaps - check there as well.
Start with that, and sit back for a lot of reading, then post specific questions for help.
Otherwise this is too broad a subject for a single post!
Again, welcome and you have come to the right place!

Again, try the search feature, use variants for different results:

Actually, there are not a lot of KA cars, hence the sparse info. Most go the SR route which is why there is a lot more info on those. Basic points are the only frame mods should be to where the trans mount goes, need to update the fuel system for EFI (unless you go carb, which then means ignition work), and of course the wiring. The mounts should not be too hard to fab. I don't think the guy selling the mount kits is around anymore?

I think there are quite a few listed on here (Ok, 3 or 4?). And again, there is a lot on the swap, and a lot of knowledge of the issues here.

i disagree, at least with what i've seen in my short ownership, locally, and at car shows.
There are LOTS of KA swaps into roadsters...since it's a bit more straightforward than the SR swap in terms of frame mods. Single cam and twin cam KA's were being swapped into roadsters years before the SR became "popular". Same goes for the 510.
I have a friend that owned a KA-swapped roadster from the early 90's!
on this board alone ka swaps are 'o plenty:
Ken
Mo
Dan
herb
buzz
alexi
mike b.
mike s.
ted
andy

mark, sounds like KA mounts are an unmet need maybe you can help :D
