Bonjour everyone. So I have been reading, doing research, and learning so much from this forum in the last few months. Little bit of history....decided to build my 95 240sx with a 2jz setup. Life kicks me in the nuts with a business opportunity that I couldnt pass on and so I had to part out my setup in order to fund the business venture. I cried a little, drank myself stupid, then asked my uncle what he thought about if I asked him to help me build a V8 setup (I didnt actually cry fyi).

My uncles **** eating grin said it all....plus he told me he was happy that I stopped wasting my time and money on stupid toys and started looking into American Engineering (he hated my Sr20 setup and disliked my 2J setup....though he respected it). Needless to say Brandon (Bfurches) being the awesome dude that he is got his hands on a LM7 setup and sold it to me........

So with all of the BS out of the way I am looking to get your feedback and opinions on my build. As you will see below most of the parts are purchased and ready to go but some I havent purchased and am still doing my research about. Please feel free to share your thoughts as this is a learning process for me as I had NO real knowledge about the V8 world until 2-3 months ago. The parts have been stockpiled at my uncles shop and I will likely begin wrenching away at some point this fall/winter.....as long as my crazy work schedule frees up. So it begins.......

Goal: Street car with a reliable low 10 sec setup. (Street driven less than 50% of the time). Mostly looking to setup for E85 use but would like to figure something out with a flex fuel setup or 2 different tunes.
