Ok for those of you who remember me I have a large update following my AfterDark episode. For those of you who don’t know here is the thread.

I have since then completed my swap thanks to Jeff and Yury at Heavythrottle. I ordered my engine from them a week after that and received it about two and half weeks later. I also ordered a spec stage 3 and fuel pump from them. I also bought the downpipe and ss test pipe from projectsilvia. Running a 3in cat back made my the exhaust shop for 80 bucks mandrels and everything.
Here is the truck delivering the engine
I was amazed at how clean the engine was also
Very happy that a stock nissan clutch and pressure plate was installed by prev owner and not 6 puck clutch.
Here is the DSM 1st gen radiator and electric fans I am running. Notice how much thicker the radiator is compared to the factory KA.
Here is all I had to modify to my lower power brace.
This is before we start shoe horning the engine in.
This is much easier then trying to bench press the transmission although we have done it around three times prev on other cars.
Here I am guiding the transmision in
Here she is in her new home.
This is how we tested to see if it would run since I had not received my IC from ebay yet. Started on the first try and idled at a rock at 750 and still does till this day.
Here is a shot of the radiator and the IC piping that we made from 90-degree mandrel bends and silicon hose.
150 shipped from ebay. I am happy HKS
Battery in the trunk no room in the engine bay. (optima)
This is the finished product so far. Running strong and imo looking good.
Well that’s it for now. I really want to thank my friend Mike and his family for helping and letting me use their garage and tools. My girl Mandy for the support and photos. The car is a 90 fb and I found that the power steering lines from an s14 work out really well and require no modification.
Thanks,
