Going to be copying and pasting from my build thread on infamousnissan, and adding some stuff along the way that I haven't updated over there....
So picked up this hardbody off facebook swap and sell for $350, motor is presumably blown up...
So I dragged it home and take the wheels off to inspect some more.... found this sh*t Angle iron C notch.... Also a good amount of rust up front (but didnt take a pic)
Got some wider steelies off a K5 blazer and some lo-pro tires... the bent frame immediatly became noticable (the drivers side was resting on the wheel wells and sticks out a good 1.5 inches, vs the passenger side fitting pretty flush.)
Got tired of pushing it around so decided to mess with the motor... So I dump a good 1/4 cup of fuel right into the motor and try to fire it... starts pretty easy but the timing needs set and it smokes like hell.
So I go back to the motor and keep poking around, quickly realize i dont have a valve cover gasket and am spraying oil out a missing plug that comes with the gasket.... also realized i have no belts connected on the motor, and one of my pulleys is held on by 2 loose bolts....
Then I went and picked up a motor from a buddy that wrecked his sleeper foxbody, makes 400+ hp with a upgraded t5 (straight cut gears and all the works) car was running low-mid 12's with a good amount of wheelspin....
Currently waiting for me to have the time and room at work to build my custom frame more it.
