L series trannies bolt to KA24's out of 240's and pickups.The KA is derived from the Z24 (NAPS-Z engine) which was derived from the L20 which was derived from the combination of the old Datsun 410's engine block with a head that copied the one Mercedes was using on it's L4's. Also, the 410's engine was a cast off Austin ( Austin A40?) design being built under license by Datsun since the 1950's. The first L series came out in the 1967 510 and that car was part of a collaboration between Dastun people and people from the old Prince car company that Nissan absorbed in 1966. Hope that clears up some history. Oh, and since Fuji heavy industries built the differentials in both the 510 and all subsequent IRS DAtsun/Nissan cars from 1967- at least 1988 (maybe to this day) AND the diffs for Subaru (which is part of Fuji heavy industries) they interchange as well. The diffs are available in 160-200mm ring gears and the larger ones are better and typically found in Z31's.
