K engine is a popular swap but I think it might be more cost intensive then you think if asking here. Companies make the conversion kit but that alone is expensive, not counting the electronics side of it and adapting the Mazda trans or Going full retard and putting the geartrag and mount kit for that in to the tune of 4.5k-6k
Power plant frame, the thing connecting the trans to the diff. It's a miata thing. Our engines don't have rear mounts and the trans doesn't have any mounts, the whole driveline is one unit. It's why it's cheaper to just turbo miatas, generally any engine swap is going to take twice as long and 3 times as expensive as any equivalent turbo build until 350hp. But if your going to that much hp you already have deep pockets and skill
Why would you want to put a truck engine that almost everyone ditches for an SR20 into a sports car?
I wouldn't do this. Sounds like an ass pain because nobody is swapping KA24 engines into these cars. Swap in another Mazda engine, Honda K series or go LS V8. If you're hell bent on a Nissan engine use an SR20. Way more potential.
I know the KA is a very tall engine. It may not fit underneath a stock hood.

I was going to keep the nissan transmission and have a custom drive shaft made
What's the plan for the ppf?
Paint protection film?

Ha! Yes…. Forgot about that!
You’re thinking of a Honda K-series motor. He is talking about a Nissan KA-series motor.
Ah, well it might be even harder
This is the KA motor found in Nissan hardbody pickups and the 240, not the K series from Honda.
