Uncommon Sense

Pasadena area

Anybody know where I could source a good motor and trans? I could go to the junk yard but I don't want to deal with hidden problems.

Tim the Tool Man Taylor says go DOHC!!!

So theres two different KA24DE's I heard. One from a 240sx and one from a truck? I need the one off the truck because I need the torque. I'm here in SoCal. Anybody know where I can source a good motor and tranny? Also, as far as the plug and play kit from Blackmarkit, I would just need that kick panel and the motor mounts aside from the wiring harness from the truck? As far as the radiator, what works best? I'm taking it out to the desert and overheating is a B.

Lmao! I'm the guy that wants the bad news first.

So nitty gritty first. The cab's been hit: Notice the door jam. Two owners ago. I guess the guy got T-boned. He took a piece of cheap sheet metal and bent it over to cover the hit. 1) Top View 2) Side View 3) The gruesome under view. The straight portion at the top of of the picture is the sheet metal. You can see the exxxtra long self tapping screws..... The rusty portion that bows down is the actual cab. Thats the MAJOR kick in the nuts. Shotty workmanship is a big pet peeve of mine. Dirt and rust, truly a desert truck. Not show material but I think it'll make a good wasteland vehicle.

Good looks

On it!

How do I post pics btw? Yes, I that out of touch with computers. lol

I still plan on doing it in the future. Nothing crazy. Just enough to get in and out of the desert areas out here in SoCal. I just need a quick cheap motor swap that'll be reliable for the next couple of years while I save up and find a decent donor truck.

Ok cool. Thanks

I'm listening!

Ok I think I found him. I'll ask.

Oh yea I'm tripping. I guess I wanted it to be really bad.

Oh yea true that. I'm sure we've all snapped a few bolts over torquing.... etc. etc. etc.
