S14 Daily Driver Build, a potato V8 story.
Yet another build i'm working on, was just given the OK to get the thread started, will be posting pics of the engine install in the next few weeks, then tearing the engine bay all the way apart for paint.
Many around have seen the car, a friend (adams) old S14, current owner is Duray, he bought the car from adam as a shell (the longblock is still in it, rodknocked), yesterday we picked up the engine for it..
Pics of the car, it pretty much still looks like this, except the front end is removed, he bought a Kouki front for it yesterday also.
Drivetrain List so far:
2004 GTO LS1/T56 complete pullout
R32 Skyline GTR brakes (F and R)
Suspension
Stock shocks/ Tein springs
5 Lug conversion
oem 18" 350z wheels
Interior:
Complete black conversion, kouki seats
Exterior
Kouki front conversion
I'll be starting with fabricating the mounts, then a set of 4-2-1 headers, once those two are done, the engine will be coming out for me to prep the engine bay for paint, once sprayed i'll be working on the reinstall and the rest of the swap to include:
Stainless Y pipe with 2.5" resonators, into single 3.5"
Vband connected rear axle back, 3.5" dia with Borla canister muffler
Dual Camaro/firebird fans in custom aluminum shroud
A/C Lines

New pics time
Engine bay with half diassembled KA, begging to be removed
Front 5 lug and new wheels installed
Oh shit, nearly tripped over this, damn redneck potato, low tech pushrod lump in my way when i was walking along
Oh lookie an M12 geared elusive T56 sitting behind it
Mmmm front accessory's, with serpentine drive and an alternator with nearly double the output of the SR/KA/RB pieces, and a convenient RH mounted a/c compressor that will make for a short a/c low side line.
