1993 240sx build

Ok, it's been a while, but I've got some updates. I decided shortly after I got the 5.0 to do gt40p heads and a cam. When I did I found rust and pitting in one of the cylinders.



And to be honest I wasn't mad, since I found it before I tried to start it. But I did finally get the whole engine torn apart that day other than the rotating assembly



fast forward about a month and these came back to my house





And bought some parts for it :P



I also picked up an S13 VLSD



And some seats



Aaaaaaand wheels



Yes this is the actual picture of the wheels (purchased from upgarage) right now they are 18x7.5 et44 but once I relip them they will be at 18x10 et12 and 18x11 et0

I'll try to keep this updated more often. Hope people did think this project was dead hahaha

Hey I'm the guy that put together this car a couple of years ago. Here's what it looked like when I sold it;



I liked where this was going until you sold my wheels and put a ford motor in it.

Well the car I'm building isn't the same as the car I had originally, so technically you didn't build the current one. But I loved the wheels and I ***** to see em go, but in my eyes it was worth it.

Edit: the car was in way worse shape when I got to it though which sucks. I know the current owner though!

302? what?

got my attention.

excited to see where this goes. How was the 302/T5 going in? On my Rx7 its basically mod free, no cutting or anything, are 240s the same?

it is practically mod free. i couple small hits on the firewall with a hammer and it gives you some space. in those photos it sits about 3/4 of an inch forward and about an inch higher than its final place but it was so easy to drop in. only real mod i have to do is cut some metal in the hump of the trans tunnel since the shifter will sit a tiny bit forward.

I'm sooooo glad you went Ford powered instead of Chevy powered like every other 240 owner.

Why thank you! I'm a ford guy myself when it comes to domestics. I hope to have it running within 2 weeks. Getting it mounted perfectly is the hard part. The rest is just plugging shit in :P

i realized that i wouldnt be able to afford anything other than mustang reps so i had to step my budget up a tad :P i think itll look sick. gonna have to run adapters though! In other news, my harness is getting modified by Concept 8 this weekend so the engine swap becomes turn key and he may have the engine mount im missing that is holding me up from putting the engine in -____-

Ebay gots you covered for wheels, breh

Now things just got interesting with the v8!

I know! She should get going a little faster than when she did with the KA :P and I can't find nice wheels in that price range. I didn't think I would either. Sadly I'm missing an engine mount so I can't put the motor in before then!
