]2eDeYe Posted December 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2010 Sorry, I don't mean to be a pain in the a**, but how about some detail pics of the cable routing, and throttle body, as you know I have the same swap ahead, and need all the info form you " the guinea pig" that I can get. Sequence runs from the firewall to the throttle. You can see the whole layout(S shape) of the cable it the engine bay pic. It looks like I can add a stock clamp at the back of the intake, gonna keep my eye out at pull a part. It's REAL nice having full throttle Hope that helps Quote Link to comment
goes2fast Posted December 24, 2010 Report Share Posted December 24, 2010 Thanks, since I didn't get my engine out of a donor car, I had no Idea how it was supposed to be routed. :cool: Merry Christmas to You and Family! Quote Link to comment
Jester Posted December 24, 2010 Report Share Posted December 24, 2010 Nice job Steve. This thing should look killer with the other wheels. 1 Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted December 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 Drove it around town today. Brakes work better than stock even with the stock master. Gonna get a bigger one though for some more pedal feel. Love driving it. Hauls so much more ass with the better throttle cable. Huge grin, non-stop. :D 1 Quote Link to comment

]2eDeYe Posted January 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 Took it in for an alignment today. Much better steering response and no more wandering. Next up is the shock towers. Quote Link to comment
Cmac Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 Did you use dropped spindles on the front or did you turn the torsion bars ? For the rear Im guessing 3 inch blocks. Truck looks great ! Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted January 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 Cranked the torsion bars down and re-indexed them. You are correct on the 3" blocks. Thanks for the compliment. :) Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 How close was the shop able to get the front alligned being that low? Looks good as always...she's gonna ride like a Caddy once the towers are raised :cool: Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted January 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 Pretty close, I pulled the spacers. I'm at -1 deg camber on one side and -.8 on the other. I think that's dur to one side being a tad bit lower than the other. That will be remedied when I pull it in to fix the towers. Did you extend yours 2"? Edit: Beds are cool. Was about frame to axle. No rubbing havent rolled the lips either. Action shot 1 Quote Link to comment

Wide14u Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 what are the tires are you running the size Quote Link to comment

sanitys Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 dude that sucks. like the work you've done, hopefully you can get the tailgate fixed Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 Damm Ford drivers...get the insurance $$$ & maybe run it without the gate for awhile. Im sure a clean gate will pop up here thats for sale. Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted January 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 I'm more pissed that the OG paint is irreplacable...The gate will stay on the truck for now, just one more character mark. :) 1 Quote Link to comment
Jester Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 Could have been worse though. At least he noticed before totally caving it in. Just knock out the big portion and call it good. I wouldn't go through the insurance they are liable to total it! What's the going rate for a perfect tail gate now days....... hundred bucks??? Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted January 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 What's the going rate for a perfect tail gate now days....... hundred bucks??? If you can find one, most of the ones I see are beat and usually from the inside. :lol: 2 Quote Link to comment
