project 720 ka-t

[ratsunissan]

ok so i started doing this project about 2 weeks ago..i work 30 hours a week and go to school so its a slow progress but i want everything done right so im taking my time. im doing pretty much a complete resto on the truck..repair rust, paint, suspension, motor swap (from a 95 240sx) and so on.

 

here is what it looked like back in sept 2011 when i bought if for 1300.

 

old z24

 

pulled

 

new motor

 

pulled the lights, radiator, old tranny and sorted out the old wires (time to start preping)

 

this is it so far but i try to work on it a little each day. ill be updating you guys throughout the whole project and im sure ill run into some problems and questions along the way that hopefully someone on here can help me out with

i didnt think that the car block went into the cars?? there is a thread on here for 620 ka swap... said something about it.

[southern620]

It dose but there are some mods required or at least there are for the 240 block to go into the truck. Redeye has prolly one of the best document 240 KA swap threads.

[ratsunissan]

yeah the only really problem is the oil pan and you can have a custom one made.

Whos redeye?

[southern620]

He's one of the mods on the forum

[ratsunissan]

couldnt find him but ill keep trying

[]2eDeYe]

I am :)

 

Build thread is in my sig.

[ratsunissan]

dope nice truck man. you didn't have to modify the oil pan at all?

[]2eDeYe]

Thanks.

 

Just a little tappy tap with a body hammer after flipping the center link.

 

 

PS Thanks for the props Southern620 :)

[southern620]

No problem man. I know your thread is the one I'm using so I figure why not the 720 too lol.

[ratsunissan]

huh i think the steering is set up differently on the 720 but im gonna look into that cause it sounds a hell of a lot easier than modding the oil pan

[]2eDeYe]

Can you snap a pic of the center link?

[ratsunissan]

ya ill put it on here at somepoint today man

[ratsunissan]

here it is. i think its different..

 

[]2eDeYe]

Looks almost the same, the swaybar is different though.

[ratsunissan]

so do you think ill be able to just do what you did with the center link then?

[]2eDeYe]

Possibly, can you get a shot from underneath?

[ratsunissan]

yeah ill throw one on here today.

 

 

 

i couldnt snag a good picture of it but im almost positive it different

[ratsunissan]

big update coming soon. id say 75% of the truck is painted, ima start cleaning the motor today, oil pans getting made, hopefully drop the motor in within a couple weeks and wire it up. then ill i have left to do is the front end / suspension and turbo it :)

[elfirebeasto]

Sounds awesomee. I'm liking where this is headed. The build is going to be kick ass when finished.
