What up.
Im starting a new thread to show off my new project!
im starting a k24a2 engine swap on my 1984 2m4 (tired of dealing with a 40 yo engine)
I only know of maybe 2 or 3 other people whio have done this swap so i wont have much documentation to help me out on this one, so im going to document it to my best ability on this thread.
I have a low budget and not a whole lot of time so i wont be updating this thread super often but I will as much as I can.
engine shipped today so im excited to actually start working on this thing.
currently in the process of removing the old duke out of the car.

There is a Facebook page dedicated to fieo K-Swaps. Something I have been tossing around as myself.
If anything i will keep an eye on your build.

Do you have more pictures of that mid-century modern house in the background? It looks pretty cool... very 60s mod.

not a huge fan of k swaps tbh. I wish you the best of luck and I will say this.
please address gaskets and any known defects with k series engines now (I know there is a few)

Why are you not a fan? They are a very popular motor that make proven power. All motors have some sort a issues for sure.

I would definitely echo what CarterCarbs said. Make sure you go through the engine to a degree, and change out all the gaskets that you suspect are a little tired. It'll be a lot easier to do it now, than it will be to do it later when the engine is installed (thinking timing cover, rear main seal, etc.).

Don't worry about what they say here. Just look at what the rest of the world does with K24a2. Like someone said there is a facebook group specifically devoted to swapping this engine into a Fiero. Those engines are great and it is a popular swap.

yeah didnt think to much about that but ill definatly will be going through the engine before install.
the engine only has a little more then 45k on the clock so im not super worried about stuff like the head gasket.
im hoping to get it running on an engine stand to make sure every thing is good before final install.[This message has been edited by BruhMans06 (edited 08-19-2024).]

oh just don't like them honestly. nothing really against them but my favorite honda engine is an F22 or F23 but definitely a j30 to drive or even the j32 out of a acura tl. I'm actually doing a g-swap (h head onto f23 block) with a Buddy so there's that.
as for this case? just really enjoy both the iron dukes smooth crappy power and the v6 screaming at high revs upon downshifts and just hearing that beautiful sound of a 60 degree v6[This message has been edited by cartercarbaficionado (edited 08-20-2024).]
