That's the plan ;) I'm getting a job soon and I get to keep half of what I make, the rest goes toward college. So, I'm going to hunt down a Cheap TT motor and then begin my build. I had no idea Cheromanches S/C is almost 4k, so i've got to figure out how to make the Vortech work... I need to talk to him.

Running, yes. Running well, no. I think I mixed up some wires cause it seems to be misfiring. I'll fix it tomorrow.

No dude! You gotta use the NA motor. At most run TT low comp pistons w/wristpins. The beauty of that build is that it's cheaper then both a TT swap AND buying a TT.

Im good at fixing computers, but I know nothing about putting a drive train together... you should ask for help rather then get frustrated, if it fits your budget.

Nothing I can really do besides replace the cylinder anyways... I just wish I had known this when I had the engine out, then I could've easily replaced the whole line.

Yeah, i'm just afraid of snapping those pins. I'd never here the end of it from my parents and I seriously mean that. I was thinking of finding a core TT motor and then just bolting up my NA heads and other parts.

I'd rather have a good strong part then something from Pep Boys. I have a TT clutch without a clutch booster, so I need something that'll last. Don't get me wrong, I bought a ton of stuff from Pep Boys, but it was all simple stuff like hose clamps and heatshrink.

Yeah, I see what you're saying. The nice thing about the NA block is there's no oil passages to clog up (I don't like stuff like that). You could always just get a supercharger without it's own oiling system though. I wish I had just done this lol.

It ended up being $120 shipped. I know it isn't that bad, but I'm almost out of money and the car is nowhere near where I want it. I still need:
-3qt Accusump
-Exhaust
-Stillen Type 3 Lip
-Fresh coat of paint
-Couple rolls of black suede to re-cover my interior
-Bucket seats
-350mm Suede wheel w/hub and quick release
-4 point harnesses

Most of the stuff can sit on the backburner, but the exhaust is very important (seeing as I currently have open headers and this thing is f*** loud) and the Accusump is because I don't want to spin a bearing.

Congrats dude!

So out of curiosity today I went to Pep Boys to try and see if they had a clutch master cylinder. They did, but get this. It was $46 more then it is from Nissan. Isn't that crazy?

I just laughed and said I'm buying it from Nissan. They know me there (I always forget stuff and have to keep going back) so they just laughed along with me.
