the front end reminds me of a flounder, but she looks good none the less!

Nice but why did you go carb over EFI?
One Big Ass Mistake America
ease of maintenance

However, a concussion is better than death.But, I like. I'd drive it. It looks like a fun car (especially with the 302)... definitely not pretty though.
What'd you do with your 1.8 turbo stuff?
So i'd been ignoring this thread, cuz it didn't interest me when it first posted, but i just peaked in and saw that V8 and now i'm a fan
BUILT NOT BOUGHT .........
sold it all as soon as the engine blewWRONG

i have a 350z as a daily now, so this is th track car....
Once its painted, itll be really pretty, soooon
Well, the build has gone pretty bad up until here.
Problems?
Massive amounts of bolts i had to keep going to get, spending wayy too much time
People that say they will have a part, or have something done on a certain day, or fabricate something, and not. I had 4 major things that took 2-3 days more on each part, setting me back almost a week on fabrication.
I had to raise the engine and tranny, engine 3/5 inches, tranny 2.5 inches to keep ground clearance where i needed it. i will not sacrifice my ride height...period
powdercoating took 3 days longer than anticipated, engine mounts took 3 days longer, parts ordering, and wrong parts took a few days, still dont have parts for a driveshaft, still waiting on delrin diff bushings, and crap
but for now, it looks like this:

this is the steering shaft/header/block clearance.
overall

you can see i spaced down the sway bar bracket, SUPER temporary, will be redoing it with more bracing, and different spacers. just wanted to get it together
IMG_0659 by Flsimages, on Flickr
raised the whole steering rack an inch also to help with tie rod angle
IMG_0660 by Flsimages, on Flickr
custom engine mounts. used Martin's v8 plates, with 3 inches welded on top to clear the subframe
the oil pan was LITERALLY 3 inches below the subframe....wtf?
IMG_0661 by Flsimages, on Flickr
interior as it sits right now
IMG_0662 by Flsimages, on Flickr
my horrible welding. had to cut the whole tranny tunnel out and raise it to clear things
IMG_0663 by Flsimages, on Flickr
passenger side clearances. with an elbow welded on the collector, should tuck perfectly down there
IMG_0664 by Flsimages, on Flickr
lowest point now is the subframe in the front
IMG_0665 by Flsimages, on Flickr
modified frame rails, and spacers on the top of the tranny mount. will need to cut where the member meets teh frame parts and raise it up as high as i can when it gets to florida
IMG_0666 by Flsimages, on Flickr
harmonic balancer clearance
IMG_0668 by Flsimages, on Flickr
already welded up the overcut my dad did lol
had to cut the covering for the vert bolt holes since with the roll cage, i cant pull the top off. so now i can throw a wrench on there and pull it for the bikini top usage
IMG_0669 by Flsimages, on Flickr
cant this damn thing off
IMG_0671 by Flsimages, on Flickr
you can see how im cutting the AC bracket. it is re purposed for the powersteering
wow.if it dont fit,make it fit.i like it.this your first time doing this?
this PARTICULAR swap? yeah. but ive been building crazier shit in japan for half a decade
haha nice. this reminds me of my car. MAKE shit fit. cut the fuck out of it
Fuck you guys

Shitty run, but you get the drift. had a timing issue (IE distributor sinch bolt was loose and it moved retarding timing)
Fuck you.
Now that we understand each other, it looks alot better flat black. Great job on the whole build.
doest matter
will be this this winter:
with the v8
lol, losing more and more weight, gaining more and more power.
Holy shit! I remember wanting to see this done back when you started the thread.
awsome
