My 86...

Gutted out inside too, how cool are those brights:cool:
 
I do want to do a 620 truck and out an SR20DET in it. You know the Datsun pickups have the same 6 lug wheels as the newer Titans and Armadas. Factory dubs!
 
Today my 86 is an asshole. I started to pull the transmission, only to find three bellhousing bolts are blocked by the steering rack. So I'm going to pull the engine and trans together. Which is no big deal, but it's not what I planned today lol.

...and its 95 out, right Eric!?
 
A little higher actually. Wind blew once, that was nice. :cool: I only had minor heat strike, and I stayed conscious almost all day, so I reckon I did ok. :)

Me and JC spotted this in a pull a part a while back, I thought of you.
Its a Nissan but the resemblance is uncanny.
 
Yeah it's a tight squeeze for sure lol. But the K24 is sooooo much more common than the F20/22 that I would love to see Mr. John start producing K24 mount kits.
 
Finished sprucing up the transmission and swapping bellhousings. If it weren't raining, I'd go on and take the block to the shop. They want too much though. About 140 to clean, resurface and hone the block. Is that about right?
