I have read every post on the topic so I don’t need all the information on the swap I have it mostly figured out. But the one thing I have not been able to find out is the oil pan setup. If you put an l16 510 oil pan on a z24 will it work in the car and clear the crossmember?

Started taking the red paint off of it and inspecting the floors. The major problem areas are here, under the seats, and the roof.. still worth saving it?

Well updates aren’t great on the 2 door. I finally bought a house and the car resides in the garage. I picked up this wagon trying to decide if I should use it as a parts car or try and save it…

username gabby is a scammer. just got one of these generic scammer messages they like to send out "hello, are you still looking? you can get in contact with Samson if its still available... his mail is samson.2millard@gmail.com"

cool look forward to your build. Please figure out how to upload pics directly to site. It sucks having to click these links to view each photo.

yeah same for me every time I have posted a wanted ad someone does it. @sTanTruck if you used paypal ask them to do a charge back, I did it and got my money back once.

what should we do for the ac? would it be worth the effort doing it myself and getting some dye and checking for leaks etc? Or should we bit the bullet and have a shop do that?

Ha let us know power steering pump would be awesome

Traded a boom stick for this 1985 720 4x4. It runs and drives amazingly for its mileage and condition. It has a lot of options cruise control, ac, power steering etc… has 240k miles… has a few rust spots on body but none on floor boards or rockers or underneath… it’s going to be my wife’s little fun run around town truck. AC does not work, do you think it’s worth trying to get it working on this old of a truck or should I remove it? power steering was whining and grinding, cut off the old belt. It is hard to steer but nice and quiet. Worth just getting a new power steering pump for $100? First plans for this project (torque head to prevent head gasket failure, adjust valves while I’m in there, and new valve cover gasket) we want to lift it a few inches atleast and put a nicer wheel and bigger tire on it 31-33 inch. Will probably do a 3inch body lift. also considering doing a tractor supply paint job on it.

what is this paint? is it just spray painted?

Ha I am mostly in agreement but its a state job with mostly good benefits, early retirement, and other than it sometimes being hard to get exact weekends off because others also request the same days it's usually not too bad with the PTO and stuff that I accrue. I have a 3 day weekend every week, just sucks that my personal weekend is mon-wednesday.

If anyone is interested I have a 1981 Honda 450r elsinore I plan on getting rid of. It's a big project but I wouldn't want much for it. Rare one year only bike. This isn't a for sale ad just a feeler.

unfortunately never found the coverage. Hope it's a great show look forward to the youtube coverage.
