Since I'm putting the engine so far back to fit the front diff, it made the transfer case be in the exact stop of the passenger seat. Figured id cut up a vette torque tube and push the tranny and transfer case behind the seat. Plus it helps with weight distribution.

Ha! I wish it was that easy, this thing is going to take me a long while. I pulled the motor/tranny from my DD V (which I'll be selling as a roller) and sold it to a buddy of mine and he's paying me to put it into his 300zx. So that's priority now, but hopefully I'll have days in between to work on it




have to clean up the engine bay, and paint it. Trying to make it look clean, wire tuck and all. Might do a separate thread for it

You wouldn't be interested in selling the air intake plate the MAF and filter are mounted to would you? I just need something with that general angle that I can modify to use my card MAF/filter housing. Just cant justify buying a hole kit to get just the plate since I will cut it up use none of the other parts lol

Every time I see this on the first page, I get a slight chub just to come in and see it was a bump and not an update.

Stop giving me the blues
