Ok so I have some questions about the k24a8. I have this guy I know that has the k24a8 block and head and he bought cause he was going to use it but never got to use and never had money to swap it in his car. He knows I am looking for a k24 and I was going to go with the k24a1 but he came with this offer. He offered me 300 to come and pick it up cause he is tired of looking at it cause he never has the money to use it. The only thing bad is he doesnt know if it runs or not.
I have looked and the k24a1 and k24a8 are almost the same. They have the same dislacemant, stroke and bore. The only thing really different is the hp is 6 more and the torque is like 2 or 3 less. Is the k24a8 a good motor like the a1 cause I have done little on the a8 but alot on the a1.
And what would I need to do the swap. Rear tranni mount. And would it be like the a1 where you can run the ep3 stock ecu off of it but run the stock cat cause without kpro and a race header it would run to lean. Can you do that in this motor or is the kpro the only way. So I guess rear tranni mount kpro, am I missing anything here. And I can just bolt up my ep3 5 speed tranni to it right. Thanks in advance for the help guys.
