Yeah, the driver side mount needs to be changed, possibly more, as well as driveshafts, also the full ECU has to be wired up because its injection rather than carb. Its a very big job that i definitly considered but im going for the MA12 transplant instead, its 1235cc and a straight swop!
Im getting it done next week so ill let you all know how it goes!
The CG13 transplant should definitly be done, but it will more than likely be done by Wayne... Its a big job and no company will probly take it on, it would have to be done my a modifyer in his back garden!

ok. well.,.
were to start
1) drivers side mounting needs to be altered
2) need to invert and fabricate aggsisting gearbox mount to fit k10 mounting (so passenger mount needs sorting)
3) the under support bar needs to ba added (k10 doesnt have one) this would require bolting and sheet metal a panel so the bopolts didnt pull straight through the floor plan!
4) you would require an electric pump (powerfull enough to mount sumwere near the tank to pull from th tank but also pump through to the engine (landrover style)
5) you would require to run wiring from all the ionjectors systems (k10=carb, k11 = injectors) so in theory would be better to fit the WHOLE k11 wirringin loom and then splicw connectors for lights etc!
6) driveshafts need altering. (gearnbox ends are different)
7) you need to alter the drive system to a k11 (use my brake upgrade
)
8) you may also requirte to dish the drivers side leg (sits to high, and power steering pulley clashes)
9) also need to deviate away from the brake servo (alloy, easily brakeable) as it will sit to close, any jump in the engine will snapo this (casuing brake failure)
10 ) NOBODY has done this (so u will be the one to experiance all the problem, other than the ones i mentioned)
good luck

It took me 8 hours over 2 days but at least half of that was faff! Oh and waiting for the RAC man when I couldn't start it and couldn't work out why!
I'd planned for 3 hours & never done it before...

What was the problem with non-starting?

A retarded one! Too long spent stressing as I was doing it at work & taking up space that was needed. I think the only problem was I'd mixed up the wires to the coil, earth and live but as they looked the same I couldn't tell from the Hayne's! Told the RAC guy I'd driven out that morning and now couldn't start it, he was mightily confused, understandably as it won't run like that! Didn't notice the old engine under a blanket in the boot He also said the engine was on it's way out as it started in a cloud of oily smoke from the storage oil on the pistons!
Top lad & great service though, used to work for Nissan building K10s so chatted for a while about tuning potential etc
