4 wheeling story, new plans! V8 swap into nissan hardbody

V8 240sx? Sure! If either the chassis OR the engine is non-Nissan (i.e. SR20 in an RX-7 or LS1 in a 240sx), we've done it.

i got an 1989 nissan d21 hardbody 4x4 with a 2.4L 4cly ( Z24 ) and a 5 speed man trans. stock axles, stock gears, 3 inch lift. with 31'' mudders.

i blew up the the 2.4 L when i was wheeling up at bunker hill in st. helens OR, i was going thru a bog pit and i got stuck in 4 hi, so i droped it to 4 low and took off in second gear to get the RPM'S up, i was plling out of the pit and then all the sudden i hear BAM!, i got out and i noticed i had a whole in the side of my engine block about the size of a gold dollor that had coolant, and oli spewing out. i gave it hell. the first thing i said was, " I gave it hell and had fun, time to drop in a small block chevy"

im going to post pictures of the swap, before, during and after.
