thanks! glad to join. Been a nissan nut since i bought my 08 nismo frontier new. owned that one for 4 years, had a 2012 titan for a year. now im in a 2013 Armada and have the 2 D21's.

the plan is to pull the motor and transmission from the 87. put the 87 transmission in the 91. then start frankensteining the 87 with a smallblock V8 swap, possibly a solid axle swap and cage. good times
