240sx LS1 swap in progress

[s14k]

Not sure where to post this so i will put it here because im sure i will need some info along the way.

So here it goes. I bought a 91 s13 last week for $775 with a blown head gasket. car ran just ran thru coolant and smoke like a freight train. so i decided it was time to pull the motor and put a ls1 into it. i know its been done alot but i am using a 6.0 liter out of a 2002 chevy truck so it has its challanges. I am a student at wyotech so i have plenty of time to work on the car so i will be updating as the car progresses. After inspecting the car i found a few things that made this car sweet. when i removed the battery from the engine there was no battery tray left i could see the ground. when i opened the hatch they used expanding foam at the top to seal it from leaking and the hatch is rusted out so they used black duct tape to seal it off. so i guess i have my work cut out for me. when i am done with the car its going to be a sweet drift car. Now for some pics

You need to link them using some kind of imagehost. Attatching the pictures is what the problem is.
