Picked this up June '09 from Mike after he put new 4 new balljoints and a new slave cylinder in it. Thanks to Mike for the 240sx harness/ecu, complete intake with injectors, and getting me the hook up on the motor.

Day 1


After Pathfinder wheels, 2" blocks, pulled middle leaf and torsioned frontend.


Took some pics, best one of the day I think


Decided to try to fix a dent, found a massive amount of bondo


Started patching up the floorpan


Found a fair condition factory rollpan to replace mine that had a huge rust hole in it and eliminated the huge steel bumper


Now the fun part, frontier ka


Pulled the head and nastyness was there


Also picked up some 16x7's +20 Thanks Ken


Fast forward to now...

Truck is on 2" blocks with flipped middle leaf after trying a wide variety of rear suspension set-ups, needs some pinion shims. Front end is still just torsioned with removed bumpstops.

Picked up a clean 240 head


and a set of 248/248 cams


I'm hoping to have it in mid Oct.

 

good shit joe i love the truck...

 

Motor is out...



Turns out the clutch has been replaced. =)

Intake is back together with all new gaskets and the cylinder head is on the new motor. Should have it together tomorrow night with the engine mounts made.

 

keep us updated! awesome

 

shit is so sick

 

So the driver side mount is done. I've figured out the pass. side and just need to weld it up. Motor looks pretty damn cool being in there. It is weird with it having such a lean, but if you look at the tranny mount it seems as if it isn't leaning as much as it should be.

I really wish I had some more time, these damn mounts are ugly as hell, but they should function

Still need some oil squirters if anyone has some laying around, I need two short ones, left and right.

 

Man that is a sick project!!! Would love to have this with a sr!!!

 

Haha, thanks man.

How about a Ka-t?

 

Well, made some progress today...
Mounts are done.
Wiring is done, minus a switched power to a couple relays.

For tomorrow:
Timing chain and front cover on.
Intake/exhaust manifolds on.
Hardbody fuel tank in.
Radiator back in.

Start it up?

I'm surprised noone really posts on this =/

 

nice work, subscribed
