HI to every one i am new to this so here is a little bit about me I got a 67 from my dad who has past and he did not get it runing so i decided to take it on with putting a ka24de motor in. I know that their is a lot of you that has done this and was looking for the do's and dont's and maybe some pics.
thanks

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!

Thanks for the info i looked under the engine swap and the KA portion does not have any thing i am working on getting pics and I am at Holloman AFB NM I guess the one thing i am looking for is the motor mounts thanks again

Again, try the search feature, use variants for different results:
One quick example: http://www.311s.org/phpBB3/search.php?k ... mit=Search" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

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?

Thanks for the information I thought thear was a lot of them done

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

woops!

Hell of an idea, long overdue.

Kevin,
Please keep us updated on the production of these as I will probably take one too if I haven't fabbed my own.
