I was going to do a little show and tell earlier but I figured I'd at least get a little was into the project first. The simple run downgoes like this, 5.3l for now ( forged aluminum 370 over the winter) T76 for now (80-88mm over the winter) 4l80 stick shift to syclone tranfercase to s10 front differential, and infinity q45 rear. also I plan to keep it under 3000lbs Its a bit more complicated than that but thats the basic plan.

Some body is probably asking them selves why would a person do this? I want my car to be all purpose. A car set up launch hard typically sucks when when you ask it to turn hard. and the inverse is true. Ask a hi powered 2wd car to accelerate hard from a roll and what do you get? smoke and rubber, fun but not so effective.

Most of the hard parts have been purchased and are in my garage the big variable left is the the torque converter. Also drive shafts still need be made. I'm thinking a 5 clutch vigalate around 3500 stall. For road racing run it locked in 2nd-4th with a button to unlock for down shifts (sort of a poor mans sequential) for drag racing run it unlocked I'm thinking I can get the best of both worlds. 4 gears should be plenty for a turbo motor and my gear will give the car a theoretical to speed of 206mph. with a goal of around 650 at the tire it should be a gear limited speed.

thats all for now here are some pics of the car, the old sr20det setup and the progress so far. I still have a long way to go.

more pics of the conversion so far

pop rivet the strut towers? thats debatable .. you might have burned a bridge in the chassis... those could become loose over time/rust etc

but cool otherwise.

4L80 is an automatic trans. You would have to find a stick from a 4WD S-10 if you want an manual trans.

I like the idea of an AWD Silvia, the best way to do it would be using an R32 front clip and work from there. The front suspension might not work with the S-10 stuff.
