the alitma will work, you need to swap heads and you will be fine. you will need to use a rwd oil pan. they use different water pumps so if you do that make sure you remember that its a fwd water pump. use www.car-parts.com you can find alot of parts that way.

im selling a 1990 240sx (full car) with a KA motor. It has approx. 130,000 miles...it turns on and runs, but the water pump is bad and heats up real quick. Would need a rebuild. The car is in miami, Fl...
i was asking $600, but ive lost the key since then. I can get that issue straightend out if your interested...

plus a singlecam is pretty unique. and its still a 2.4 the only thing that may be considered a downside is that its single cam. if you havent been on ka-t.org yet check it out. they've got a single cam turbo section. a while back some guy built a twin turbo single cam. it was pretty tight.

same bore
same stroke
lower compression
The E is a fine motor the big differences are:
3 valves per cylinder
Single Cam
No Oil Squirters
Build an E up, performance cams are cheaper...
