Nissan 4 cylinder engines are in line engines, not V4s. Nissan switched to the KA24 engine in 1991, so such a swap into a 1997 might work. You will not have fun, though, because of different emissions requirements and equipment. You might have to use your 1997 intake and exhaust manifolds.

yeah i bet you could use the block-head but thats it.

i know you can change out a 240sx with a pickup.

but a complete engine swap for a 97 from a 91?
their are some differences.

my 95 2.4 is different than a 91 2.4

good luck
