Nope but I did get the motor and trans in yesterday for the test fitting / clearancing .

will have pics as soon as i get them from my buddy

 

me bolting in the partly cleaned sub frame lol



hood and bumper off ready to drop in














tons of room up front



puttign on the engine balancer now


















I think its a lil tall hahah




one of the headers put on see how much room there is this is the3 one i will have trouble with clearing the steering shafts .

Now i am gonna measure every thing up for my new drive shaft. and the trans mount doesn't work so i have to build my own.

Now if my test drive shaft is sitting at an angle i may be makign my own engine mounts to get the motors lower and the drive shaft as level as i can get it . . more to come

Driveshaft can sit at a -2 degree angle with no problems. I have +6 degree shims in my truck with the shaft about -4 degrees haha. Haven't broke with rock crawling. If you put a little negative angle in it, when you give it gas it will go close to a zero angle due to the movement of the drivetrain, unless you used a solid diff mount.

 

yeah i was planning on running solid diff mounts. the stock 240 drive shaft is a 2 piece so its a pile of ****. i was thinking of buying a 350z carbon one cutting it to size and putting the 240 diff end on it but i cant' find any type of adhesive that i know of that will make it as strong as it is from factory. so prob gonna go with an aluminum one .

 

just get a 350z shaft and take it to a drive shaft shop with mesurements and they can do the rest.

 

yeah I was gonna call a few shops and see what they could do . only prob is finding one locally or in Canada alone. cause i believe there is even only one for sale on this forum .
