Project:kade-t/wd21 pathfinder (ironhide)

[supersayianjim]

Howdy, well I looked on all the build thread pages all the way back to 2011, and sadly because of that change over at photo bucket, all the photos of other 2 door pathys are all gone(I'm also a victim of my life's work erased due to this).


So now I got Imgur, and a new project so here I am. my other projects include a 1jz sc400 and a rb25-s13(now daily driver). both swapped by me so I know a thing or 2 about cars. this distributor stuff is kinda new and I'm not liking it but whatever.


found this gem for 1k with a knocking wrist pin down in Springfield m.o.

[supersayianjim]

well shortly after some lady in front of me decided she wanted to play brake check and I lost the game.

https://i.imgur.com/Xz2uMVkl.jpg



I wasn't done with the truck I actually drove it home just fine albeit the leaky coolant, should I give up on this? seeing as it's impossible to find a 2 door pathy.

[supersayianjim]

so now it's time to "fix my fuckup" now add another 1k for parts luckily the local certafit had.


https://i.imgur.com/IQpyYnWl.jpg



I also sourced a fender from pick and pull


https://i.imgur.com/fT7P9N4l.jpg


https://i.imgur.com/CYZCE8pl.jpg



now it's time to start taking shit apart..


https://i.imgur.com/XUNGYlFl.jpg



https://i.imgur.com/SMaketTl.jpg



https://i.imgur.com/iECjmO8l.jpg


https://i.imgur.com/EwNvkCIl.jpg


mocked up the radiator support because my welding skills did not suffice.


https://i.imgur.com/iJbjU2Vl.jpg


so now I drove it to kcmo to finish up the last welds of the support and to patch up the final round of the wheel well, shout out to rb adrenaline and Robert bell.

https://i.imgur.com/42KMrPzl.jpg


https://i.imgur.com/BH2nuJal.jpg


https://i.imgur.com/J4DiGAVl.jpg


and final results


https://i.imgur.com/Yg4ZbIUl.jpg

[supersayianjim]

so I finally got to drive my truck in depth, always puckering my butt-cheeks wondering when my motor will blow because of that pesky wrist pin knocking.

so what really irked me from the beginning is the shitty, uncomfortable, old ass seats from 1987.

im used to changing out my seats

-r32 seats in my s13
-jdm supra seats in my sc400

I usually strip the cloth off, wash it and re-hog ring the seat skins.

well I had the crazy idea that I should swap some scion tc seats into this, fabbing up some brackets. well here's how it went.

first, out goes the stock monsters.

https://i.imgur.com/dRwZX4Ol.jpg


so here is what's going in


https://i.imgur.com/ftiygDal.jpg



and here is the fabbing up of the rails


https://i.imgur.com/cRIecqFl.jpg



here is the final installation, after 2 weekends and some moderate headaches.


https://i.imgur.com/RKPM6iLl.jpg



https://i.imgur.com/2YPEOSEl.jpg




apparently these seats were 2 "wide" for the pathy so it scraped up this interior panel.

https://i.imgur.com/RiONmJil.jpg



so now it's onto looking for a 95 (back to stock) interior that is in much better shape, maybe I find it later?

[supersayianjim]

I was also able to get a deal and secure a s14 twin cam with a 5 speed for in the end FREE... I sold the tranny and got what I needed. Drove it home well in the pathy, kinda heavy, this showed me that soon the suspension needs to be replaced, upgraded

https://i.imgur.com/BxuK7z3l.jpg


got it off and on the stand

https://i.imgur.com/Y4aC4YZl.jpg


taking it apart slowly and lots of gunk in the head. apparently it hydrolocked because I found some water in cylinder 3.

https://i.imgur.com/sWrPxnml.jpg


https://i.imgur.com/J5NaOZ6l.jpg


got head off and ready to get sent to kc


https://i.imgur.com/y4TzccSl.jpg



on my faithful trip to Nolan's cylinder head.


https://i.imgur.com/utXqf7Dl.jpg


I also installed a 240sx wheel and a shift knob that I love.

https://i.imgur.com/ioBntz7l.jpg

I really hate the square dash with a passion! I plan on getting a rounder/newer dash!

[supersayianjim]

Well after driving daily for a bit putting on maybe a total of a few thousand miles on it since I brought it the EXPECTED happened, and BOOM! Threw a rod.


pulled the cap and got this foggy surprise


https://i.imgur.com/EKOWxHNl.jpg


https://i.imgur.com/ogJd2JCl.jpg


Luckily I wasn't too far from home and I called up my buddy and he came a few hrs later and got a tow back



https://i.imgur.com/MOxqmlQl.jpg



well now it's time to get serious and get this back on the road before the first snowfall of next winter

[supersayianjim]

so I brought lots and lots of parts, and I needed more parts.

https://i.imgur.com/LOS7hanl.jpg



tracked down a ecu and sent it off to get a Nismotronics chip/setup

https://i.imgur.com/iNd9DG6l.jpg


I really hated the stock intake manifold, so I got a excessive for cheap

https://i.imgur.com/qeMaCpfl.jpg

rocking the stock flange not the q45
https://i.imgur.com/PTezr4ml.jpg



had to cut and weld the fuel rail to make it work



https://i.imgur.com/SqnxhZ6l.jpg


I was going to use the holset hx35 I was running on the rb25 and I had some ebay 700cc injectors already so I wanted to keep costs low.

[supersayianjim]

also brought some suspension stuff and some new rotors front and back(yes I said back) and some ss brake lines, also replaced the brake master and booster(courtesy of orielys)

https://i.imgur.com/yclYdisl.jpg


coped some new hood vents for $40.00 from the bay and they later broke because I needed to replace the hood(before I replaced the hood)

https://i.imgur.com/zocw0uLl.jpg

[supersayianjim]

so one week finally caught a break at the local pick and pull and found a 1995 pathy v6 5 speed.

https://i.imgur.com/njlyZPsl.jpg


the interior wasn't bad and the body was clean it had 120k miles, so why was it in the junkyard??


https://i.imgur.com/PZh36mHl.jpg



but but BUT!!! Guess what goodies it had for me?


https://i.imgur.com/yoJZk0Ql.jpg



so I borrowed a truck and loaded up


https://i.imgur.com/bIj2FVRl.jpg

[supersayianjim]

So it was time to pull this bitch out. now this is my first time pulling a 4wd engine, so I knew it would take along time. still a novice with this 4x4/suv stuff.

I had an idea of just unhooking everything and pulling stuff back and lifting the motor out.


https://i.imgur.com/pN89wYcl.jpg


I didn't drop the tranny all the way down and I didn't pull out the torsion bars(wasn't that advanced yet).

so no matter how far back I pulled the trans(on the torsion bars). the clutch kit continued to make contact.

https://i.imgur.com/4uh90FZl.jpg


took a bit, and with some mc guyver skills got the pp off.


https://i.imgur.com/SUUNkS5l.jpg



finally coming up!!


https://i.imgur.com/ohATXSel.jpg


https://i.imgur.com/5RuI85Ul.jpg


https://i.imgur.com/uEAO7nrl.jpg


here is the remanence of rods in the oil pan

https://i.imgur.com/yog6gfZl.jpg



a cat from an 87 truck, yielded me $62.00 bucks



https://i.imgur.com/z2Bf5SJl.jpg

[supersayianjim]

So now it's time to rip out this ancient interior and do a modern-ish update. I really hated the plastic floor. I wanted carpet because this isn't going to be a serious off roader and looking to make this a daily driver(sometimes) and snow crusher for the upcoming winter.

https://i.imgur.com/kICkMAql.jpg



so much dust, apparently this dash never came off and im so glad to be rid of this square crap


https://i.imgur.com/df4nJZ3l.jpg



https://i.imgur.com/Od2C1EHl.jpg


sadly the harness is attached with the engine harness as one(sad day)


https://i.imgur.com/iXat2yxl.jpg


took the vents off and that heater fan had TONS of leaves in it. oven cleaner and purple power makes anything clean.


https://i.imgur.com/UdrYUwll.jpg




cleaning up nicer...


https://i.imgur.com/3mmTXpnl.jpg




so much wiring


https://i.imgur.com/yESkDbwl.jpg

[supersayianjim]

Next up is stripping the block down bare and finding a shop to take it to.

https://i.imgur.com/KylQD1Kl.jpg



The shop I previously used for my 1.5jz build stopped working on imports, so I was recommended to another shop in kcmo who had excellent reviews.




around this same time I got my head back all cleaned up and I even brought some 264 cams with some adj cam gears.


https://i.imgur.com/XKmdFIrl.jpg

[supersayianjim]

So now here is my engine as it sits, ready to get mated and go in.

https://i.imgur.com/y2pceT4l.jpg


so one of the bad things about my truck, there is a major leak on the roof seal between the windshield. so this caused water to drip down and hit the steering wheel. this happens even when using a power washer at a certain angle. the floor was covered in that plastic shit.


so pulling up the carpet I caught a nasty surprise.


https://i.imgur.com/Az63JVzl.jpg




https://i.imgur.com/5KJCozfl.jpg


https://i.imgur.com/BxsOxnel.jpg



oh the horror's didn't stop there, also there was some Jammie in the back...


https://i.imgur.com/4OLo4KCl.jpg



https://i.imgur.com/Vwbu7Wwl.jpg


https://i.imgur.com/B9fMQ4Nl.jpg

[supersayianjim]

So what to do now? am I fucked, do I scrap it? or, do I tear it down? the metal on these things are thin and not so welder friendly. These 2 door's are rare as fuck and my frame is rust free and I put all this money in it already, so gotta keep going.


this is why the project has been pushed up and not done yet.


let's try to give it new life.




https://i.imgur.com/teYKgKkl.jpg




https://i.imgur.com/hTgPrjIl.jpg



https://i.imgur.com/vR2GoHel.jpg



and here are the back plates


https://i.imgur.com/2jMjM3El.jpg



https://i.imgur.com/9Zm5TTCl.jpg

[supersayianjim]

So after a few months I located a low rust pathfinder, a 2wd model(didn't know they existed.) from a junk yard in Austin texas.

and I also found the black plates from a pathfinder in Nebraska junk yard.


so I packed my Sawzall and blades and it was not fun cutting these bitches out, but I got the plates that I needed .



https://i.imgur.com/x8TenvZl.jpg


got these and welded in these for the time being.


https://i.imgur.com/LfwWdGll.jpg



https://i.imgur.com/yD7y7cfl.jpg



https://i.imgur.com/rtSXsgtl.jpg

[supersayianjim]

So as you can see I did what was in my self-ability grasp in terms of welding this rice-metal. I was welding with 110v outside, and I figured 220 would be a better/easier arc.
so I had it towed to a local machine shop who does all of my welding and odd jobs.

https://i.imgur.com/N6VjiLjl.jpg



1 week and 500.00 bucks later, lots of progress made.


https://i.imgur.com/cGnAjsVl.jpg


the back plates came out much better than anything I could have done.


https://i.imgur.com/HSa4eLAl.jpg

Got it towed back to the "lab" and began looking things over and finishing things up. here are some spaces/loose holes I intend to patch with 3m body glue.


https://i.imgur.com/UB6jv7Rl.jpg


https://i.imgur.com/CpIQXjEl.jpg


https://i.imgur.com/fYJO2Njl.jpg


https://i.imgur.com/lfQ4pfZl.jpg


the worst and hardest part is under the pedals, that was a bitch and half and I had to work some more on it.


https://i.imgur.com/itwiJzpl.jpg



had to patch up the driver side wheel well


https://i.imgur.com/aiZIx9Vl.jpg

[supersayianjim]

So here is the miracle cement I'm using, this is my 2nd experience with it (1st time was with the fender/front end repair). kinda pricey but you pay for excellent adhesion.


https://i.imgur.com/3KnVstXl.jpg



had some spots I had to patch up in other places.


https://i.imgur.com/qiwSrYRl.jpg



https://i.imgur.com/O5BH3bCl.jpg



https://i.imgur.com/56PbM3Dl.jpg


finally got that damn floor sealed under the pedals


https://i.imgur.com/9xFG9dWl.jpg

[supersayianjim]

after some careful grinding/smoothing over it's time to apply the black stuff. the goal here was to fill/cover as many holes/pockets as possible. I know it's not going to be perfect and there are even a good amount of oem holes in the floor(for the plastic anchors for the screws) but I'm going to try my best...



https://i.imgur.com/QiZtmhSl.jpg


https://i.imgur.com/BzCN3qdl.jpg



the sprayed this bitch down


https://i.imgur.com/2ulEHQfl.jpg



https://i.imgur.com/zwQAwZ4l.jpg


https://i.imgur.com/uxxtEcCl.jpg



and finally this nightmare of a floor is done, or as done as im going to try to make it.

[supersayianjim]

So next up was the engine bay, I really didn't make this as my centerpiece but looking at this dried on mud that looks like dried semen. made me tired of it, and I decided to do a quick paint job.

this was on the fly and it came out looking like a good 10ft job. I didn't sand anything down or let the primer dry as long as it should had been. it peels off with the dullest of sharp things. maybe ill do a better job later?


https://i.imgur.com/N4xrDpGl.jpg


https://i.imgur.com/0NDsMxSl.jpg



https://i.imgur.com/V1TDhIBl.jpg



and here goes the clearcoat...


https://i.imgur.com/POq26Usl.jpg



https://i.imgur.com/KW52ZvTl.jpg


https://i.imgur.com/sqnue1Wl.jpg


https://i.imgur.com/prbGgewl.jpg


I used Nissan ah3 paint (I have 2 cars in this color). I brought automotive paint and used a spray gun for the basecoat and the clear coat. it doesn't look bad. just should had sanded it but again this was a rush job, I wanted to get this motor in and I was over it.

[supersayianjim]

Next up was installation time, I was hoping at first to drop the motor in at an angle to beat the issues I was having with the pressure plate clearing.

got the new throw out bearing mounted, along with the clutch kit.

https://i.imgur.com/klqzTiil.jpg


https://i.imgur.com/bEQQbV6l.jpg



on our way to final approach...


https://i.imgur.com/HyWsYrGl.jpg



after my first attempt(no dice) so my 2 choices were to remove the torsion bars, or pull out the front driveshafts and the diff?

seeing as I needed to change out my half shafts anyway I opted for the 2nd one. I also removed the hubs and changed the seals and brake calipers.


https://i.imgur.com/qtRad1wl.jpg



https://i.imgur.com/TXCrfUEl.jpg



took the diff out and got it cleaned up really good. what I had to end up doing was I had to take this apart for the engine to clear in the bay, then I had to re-attach it after I was done with the engine install.

https://i.imgur.com/EOyJ9DNl.jpg



it was a hard time, but BAM!!!


https://i.imgur.com/prIHKY3l.jpg


and alas I don't have stock ka a/c comp room..

https://i.imgur.com/iXYVy1nl.jpg



and here is the final clearance of the downpipe to the brake booster(also replaced that).


https://i.imgur.com/0g40OeGl.jpg



https://i.imgur.com/sgqQvS2l.jpg



plenty of room on the intake side



https://i.imgur.com/nFKUQoul.jpg



I need to modify the engine mount holes, not liking this flexing going on...



https://i.imgur.com/vCRKLVcl.jpg



luckily I had a 240sx power steering fluid resv left over, and with minimum mods got it to work.


https://i.imgur.com/gPN9jaEl.jpg



https://i.imgur.com/2MKaP1ml.jpg



got the intercooler mocked up.


https://i.imgur.com/5GdK3Cpl.jpg

[supersayianjim]

then after a few days got some intercooler piping mocked up and here's how it looks at the moment BEFORE I got around to wiring.


https://i.imgur.com/Eb473REl.jpg


https://i.imgur.com/r4c62Fal.jpg


https://i.imgur.com/EZaTFzzl.jpg

[supersayianjim]

while doing this, I needed to custom create a fan shroud for my spal radiator fan. I had brought and planned to use a volvo 2 speed fan, but of course it is too thick to fit between the radiator and the front of the engine, so now we buy a slim, high cfm fan...


https://i.imgur.com/2XEzgQ5l.jpg




also had some 10mm nuts welded and had to sand them down for smoothness


https://i.imgur.com/gC4Abjbl.jpg



and a cheap paint job for good measure.


https://i.imgur.com/6hnmzF1l.jpg

[supersayianjim]

so next up is radiator repair. So I brought this universal chevy motor radiator that is a northern unit for $180.00. after finally getting this bitch installed, it had a leak.

apparently radiator fins are very fragile. I have had many alum radiators and this is my first outright leak on any of them. so after sending a video to the seller and them telling me to go fuck myself.

I found a local shop that repaired radiators. again new to this leaking game I didn't know I could had done this repair myself for free-99.


before


https://i.imgur.com/1FQLejNl.jpg



fixed and the kick in the pants bill


https://i.imgur.com/2llYLmzl.jpg



so on the same day of getting it back, guess what happens?


https://i.imgur.com/41OwHXIl.jpg



yup, fuck my life. so instead of being raped again I did what I should had done in the first place and consulted d.r. youtube.

I cleaned up the spot and I have a yellow bottle torch and some alum filler rods that I've had sitting around for years. and done...

https://i.imgur.com/EGSa6mQl.jpg


expensive lesson, but now im a radiator patching fool...

[supersayianjim]

so next up was finishing up the front spindle situation. changing the rotors and suspension arms.

https://i.imgur.com/Sy61ZR1l.jpg


cleaned up the hubs and got new inner and outer bearings.


https://i.imgur.com/3NZZrnel.jpg


I tried to get some new seals for these spindles, apparently they are NON serviceable and the later ones you can press out and switch the seals.


https://i.imgur.com/e25tEdAl.jpg



so this next issue is what happens when you don't take time in doing things. I was rushing and put in my damn ball joints upside.



https://i.imgur.com/siucJBgl.jpg



https://i.imgur.com/stgrfzbl.jpg

[supersayianjim]

so getting this thing up and down the rows it made my clutch hate me. thinking I have to replace the clutch slave.

https://i.imgur.com/VI5iA7hl.jpg


the throttle cable needed to be modded between a 240sx and some of the pathfinder oem one.


https://i.imgur.com/olYjokfl.jpg



so now were onto the rear end/ss brake line kit.. this is a lsd from a 95 pathy so this should be a bolt up affair.


https://i.imgur.com/wPPfSjMl.jpg


here is the difference between the puny 4cylinder axel


https://i.imgur.com/RlkMWY2l.jpg



https://i.imgur.com/IQvyXEKl.jpg



https://i.imgur.com/kV8Fa8nl.jpg



and BOOM!!!! yummi disc brakes for the win


https://i.imgur.com/XJOaJQul.jpg


later on this year I will get new springs and some rancho adjustable shocks...


****INFO FROM OTHER MEMBERS NEEDED****

so this h233b is off a 5 speed, and my truck is a 5 speed. the ISSUE might be the front diff gearing. I have only seen one person on the intetrwebs who has done this combo and said "there was no issue" looking for feedback from anyone else who might have done a hb rear end and it work with the front diff on the 4wd?

thank you...

[supersayianjim]

Next up is carpet time, I pulled it out of the box a few days before to let it stretch apparently. you need to keep the old carpet to make the right template cuts.

https://i.imgur.com/ak4MLPvl.jpg



the carpet isn't as thick as id like but for the price it isn't bad


https://i.imgur.com/3d9GSyBl.jpg



https://i.imgur.com/mb4X5uyl.jpg



and the back area was cut perfectly


https://i.imgur.com/vEajo4ul.jpg



and the leather seats installed, looks fucking mint!!!



https://i.imgur.com/D1dg66Gl.jpg

[supersayianjim]

during this time. I was working on a custom cluster, didn't want to fuck with the mechanical vs. electrical speedo.

so I got some intellitronic gauges a boost and innovate wideband.


also got some plastic boards to complete it.


https://i.imgur.com/hcI8IMhl.jpg


https://i.imgur.com/JlPidY3l.jpg


https://i.imgur.com/2QUmLJvl.jpg



https://i.imgur.com/BL03E1fl.jpg



tidied up the wiring


https://i.imgur.com/vkIrGZRl.jpg

gave the innovate it's own wiring relay


https://i.imgur.com/yP81uHhl.jpg


testing the lights


https://i.imgur.com/RIwt1Z2l.jpg


at some point I need to stick in a oil pressure gauge


https://i.imgur.com/mWpnSZol.jpg



got some warning lights in, yes my writing rocks!!


https://i.imgur.com/7p7Honml.jpg

[supersayianjim]

So far this is the most time consuming part so far. I found some diagrams to help with the wiring.

https://i.imgur.com/iJEHMIrl.jpg



https://i.imgur.com/d0UdVhtl.jpg



here is the cluster dimmer, well apparently I don't need the dimmer because I have individual gauges.


https://i.imgur.com/Of0rJEIl.jpg



https://i.imgur.com/mfC7t6Al.jpg



what I NEED is the diagram because I want to wire a hatch popper to a non hatch popper. I need to find what goes to what?



https://i.imgur.com/GW4jBEIl.jpg


https://i.imgur.com/ucH6KqAl.jpg

[supersayianjim]

So never encountered this kind of fuel pump hangar. apparently it has a spring loaded trigger on the bottom. but thanks to zipties I made it work. This is a wally 455lph


https://i.imgur.com/bPAevlol.jpg



https://i.imgur.com/ZSgR7SFl.jpg


I was also having wet dreams of having a/c in this before I realized the compressor wouldn't fit. so I had to replace the aged/can't get a new condenser core with a later 95 one. and apparently the wd22's use the same ones. BUT you need to get the newer boxes to go with them also.

https://i.imgur.com/aHdSVCYl.jpg


and the new stuff


https://i.imgur.com/CiEtwXVl.jpg

[supersayianjim]

So also at the junkyard I also picked up some lighted sun visors and also the center reading lights along with the skeleton for under the headliner. took some fabbing and wiring but I got it working.


https://i.imgur.com/0rGTc3Pl.jpg


https://i.imgur.com/E99Nvo8l.jpg



also have to fab up some mounting brackets for the new ecu in the stock location...


https://i.imgur.com/0Dgt61il.jpg

[supersayianjim]

Finally installed my oil cooler lines/tree and cooler. now it's ready for engine wiring and to mount some beefier bumper mount bolts.

https://i.imgur.com/EwHj1vZl.jpg


and started measuring the exhaust/downpipe situation. going to be 3inches all the way back


https://i.imgur.com/o7xhgbHl.jpg


https://i.imgur.com/o27hUjSl.jpg

[supersayianjim]

Now onto the wiring nightmare, had to strip out the stock z24i engine wiring harness. hopefully I don't need any plugs off it.



https://i.imgur.com/kDmKkhml.jpg

https://i.imgur.com/nCcUnrrl.jpg



setting up my mobile soldering station


https://i.imgur.com/8DY0CTnl.jpg



https://i.imgur.com/tTyS1Til.jpg


https://i.imgur.com/Syyf0B6l.jpg

[supersayianjim]

seeing as this harness is fuckery as it's connected to the engine AND the interior I previously cut it because I was thinking I can send away and get a plug and play. BUT apparently that didn't happen.

so now im trying to re-construct what I need and what I don't.


https://i.imgur.com/SZSyuRzl.jpg


got the harness line and the ecu where I want it to be


https://i.imgur.com/2fuM1F9l.jpg



I actually made a alt/battery harness (combined the oem and an extra rb25 one I had laying around). also created a new battery cable and made a master negative cable for all the accessories.

https://i.imgur.com/WTd6Pm6l.jpg


got a master block to house all of my fuses.

https://i.imgur.com/tS5HZZql.jpg



and here is were we are now... got to separate, extend, and cut this to fit!!


https://i.imgur.com/kOALk4Ql.jpg

[supersayianjim]

coming along with more wiring , thinking I finally got what I needed extended and cut what I needed cut.

https://i.imgur.com/pkMAJf4l.jpg


and also installed the alarm horn too. got the right length of my o2 sensor also.


https://i.imgur.com/CUiyzB9l.jpg


cleaned up my "happy" corner


https://i.imgur.com/CyNd6val.jpg


so next up was the ignitor/coil setup. apparently the z24i one is different, so I had to source a 240sx coil and ignitor, using the z bracket...

https://i.imgur.com/HHKLKdFl.jpg



https://i.imgur.com/xSkpKU0l.jpg

[supersayianjim]

so this is my first custom swap. and this wiring was a bitch in the first place, so I opted for the nifty can-am box that makes Nissan swaps a snap.


https://i.imgur.com/wOMQfAel.jpg



after fabbing up a custom bracket I finally got a place to mount this.


https://i.imgur.com/TV3Gsrjl.jpg

after the easy to follow wiring diagram it was working



https://i.imgur.com/O5ErDEbl.jpg




the other side was used for the fuel pump relay



https://i.imgur.com/ZYbVf2Cl.jpg



here is my map sensor/iat sensor(for the moment) set up.


https://i.imgur.com/ySmjeSZl.jpg



got the first piece of my downpipe fabbed up, cleared the brake master cylinder.


https://i.imgur.com/32AwTBCl.jpg



https://i.imgur.com/NsnzyjFl.jpg




and I need to wire up my knock sensor


https://i.imgur.com/k126asLl.jpg

[snags]

How is this project coming along? Im currently stuffing a 5.3 into my 1987 2 door pathy. We are running into similar problems! including rust under the rear seats.
this was a good read hoping to hear how it turned out
