I just remembered that I never posted about the crossmember revision...

We had to mod the x-member behind the motor mount to clear the factory steering rack dust boots. We just cut a curved shape out.

I got the finished oil pan from the fabricator today. It wasn't cheap, but at least this project can move forward.

Still Chuggin' along slowly. My 2nd daughter was born in February, so that and the recent house addition to accommodate said daughter is keeping me busy, I hope to be back on the Z full time this fall.

Found a transmission to mate up to the Vh. Picking it up on Thanksgiving day :biggrin: Going with a z32 automatic instead of the Q45's's stock tranny. I had the original trans from my Z,, but installed it in my 94' Pathfinder years ago.

I haven't tried it yet, but will probably get started on it in a few weeks.
