Tested a refinishing technique with these.....

While I wait for the turn buckle I figured I may as well replace some more crusty rod ends and spacers. This time for steering.     Making sure to get my use out of the left over stainless bar I got for the spacers on the lower control arms. Went a bit shorter for the lower spacers to get a little better engagement of the nylon on the lock nuts.     I'm just going to ignore the crusty bits above it.  

I just did the steering box on my truck and if I remember that rag joint is part of the whole assembly and cannot be replaced, I might have a extra one thats good if you need it. 

I think the VG33 looks right at home in the 510. With a Holley carb and no electronic stuff it looks great. Most of the people who have looked at this at car shows have really liked it.   I used most of the conversion parts from Experimental Engineering (Dave Carroll) so the swap was almost a bolt in operation. I don't do fabrication. 😞        I don't think Dave is making his kits anymore, so you would need to find someone who has a kit or pieces that they are not planning to use for you to buy. The manifold is pretty slick. More unobtainium is the distributor which is from a Datsun Saudi truck. Other HEI dists are available but the Nissan one is so much nicer. 🙂   The motor was imported from Japan by a company in Lynnwood so we don't know what it came out of. All the parts that I have ordered for Pathfinder VG33 have worked fine. I drive the car as my daily driver and i love the V6 - no turbo lag, just a smooth 180HP. It is also fun on the track.   Here's a link to my youtube channel with some videos.  https://studio.youtube.com/video/-ZKgTUdQorw/edit   Love this car!  

Are you saying you can get the whole assembly ? I’d buy that - but where ?
