H5WAGON Posted September 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 I need some 70 deg days so I can sand a bit more....FUCKING HOT! I have a stock exhaust manifold, but need a down pipe.....I will be hitting the yards for that and a electric fuel pump...;) Any down pipes laying around? :thumbup: Big time help from Phil....:thumbup: We cut the x-member at my neighbors and he took it and welded it. Also bored the holes to mount it. Still a lot of work ahead, but the 1st big obstacle tackled besides getting the motor. Now onto other fun things...adapting the B&M shifter to the 240sx auto, drive shaft, wiring, intake stuff, trans cross member..:D Anyone have any insight on the Auto trans as far as tips for install? (wiring) . 1 Quote Link to comment
