Ok so for an update I get to work on the car when I can but here goes.
I was going to turbo the motor in fact I still might however I have myself a sweet m90/vg30 tbi manifold in minty shape and a machine shop at my disposal. SO its getting a belt and a set of long tubes. Even more bizzare is i am making it carbed. I have learned to love the holley 4bbl and know every inch of its opperation so its going draw thru.
The trans is getting sent out to a local shop at the expense of setting up a draw thru turbo grass drag sled with his son. Full rebuild with "tricks"
The driveshaft pictured is the stock 240sx yup it fits like a glove I was a bit worried but was amazed it slid in.
I had to modify my rear sump pan by chopping about 2.5" out of the sump. I am either going to make kickouts for it or run a big -16 line from a side of it to a surge tank of sorts.
I think this counts as porn. We are building a set at work for a 44ft race boat twin whipple 4L blowers on top of 623ci billet hemi this is an old pic I will snap a new one soon.
