R46: 1946 Dodge with R32 GTR Internals, Build pics thus far!

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.

Cool swap, did you paint the engine bay before the new motor went in? Looked a little rough. After im done with my LS6 240sx I think I wanna then build a RB26 Camaro for the fun of it.

Haven't updated in awhile, I got my NISMO oil pump and rod bearings in but I am still waiting on two main bearings that they didn't send me It is said buying and building an RB takes patience and man am I learning that

Nice little project. Looks like you can fit a huge-azz intercooler in that grille

The inner holes in the pan you gave line up perfectly! weird I know but it does, it should work with my baffles also. Hows your RB25 coming?

I have about 2 weeks to wait for my remainder bearings I got a ahold of a pair in Canada so they build should be continuing shortly. Hopefully she'll be moving by Thanksgiving

Do you still have the 4wd transmission? I'm interested in it.

One more question :

The picture is a bit blurry but the input shaft before it slips into the integral casing measures 3.375'' or 3 - 3/8'' Anyone with a VG tranny could be a big help here with just a tape measure.
