The truck is RWD. All you have to do to lift it a a set of $60 leaf spring shackles and crank the torsion bars down. It's that simple.
I have a lot of updates about the truck I just gotta get around to posting them. Truck runs well now. I've been driving it for the last month.

Re: it IS a truck motor after all... *PIC HEAVY*
OK I have the SAFC hooked up now. Still trying to get it to run decent. Havent had a whole lot of time to play with it. I recently fabricated this front brush guard. Came out really nice. I just have to paint it now then wire up the fog lights. http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d86/quadboy47/Truck%2...

Re: it IS a truck motor after all... *PIC HEAVY*
They aren't really heavy especially when compared to the tires. The truck is 4wd it is rwd but has a dana 44 locking rear. I didn't build it to go rock crawling. Just go through some mud and throw some roost.

Re: it IS a truck motor after all... *PIC HEAVY*
Ok so heres some updates. Im having issues with the ECU from RS Enthalpy. Hopefully everything gets worked out. But the vehicle will not run with the jumper harness and ECU I purchased from him. It appears the ignition timing is off. The vehicle will run alright with the stock PCM. I purchased and S...

Re: it IS a truck motor after all... *PIC HEAVY*

Re: it IS a truck motor after all... *PIC HEAVY*
Here are a few pics of the motor all together. The main differences with the frontier motor are no block girdle. no #6 cam journals on the cylinder head. The oil pickup is towards the back of the motor. Single row upper timing chain. Intake manifold design really sucks. I had the head decked and use...

Altima Distributor Cap on on 240
Hey guys I was just curious if anyone has tried using a Altima Distributor Cap on a 240sx. It would just reroute the plug wires and kinda work better with my setup. If anyone knows if it will fit please let me know. Thanks in advance.
