A ka24de is an undersquare motor 89mm bore X 96mm stroke, no balance shafts, 3 valves per cylinder. An upgrade to the L family motors with a crossflow head keeping the chain driven single cam early (DOHC 91 up). However it is best to get a car version as they have a crank girdle, the truck motors don't have one. I would leave the cams alone and add a turbo kit if you want more power. I would port inject it with an MegaSquirt controller. Downside is it's going to shake a bit & taller, upside is great gobbs of torque and RWD friendly.
A square motor or over-square motor will shake less but you have to rev them up to get the torque.
Do you have a KD24DE? Or are you shopping the idea?
