Been looking for a Project car. I'm bored and wanted something cheap that I could work on myself and get my hands dirty.

Here's the car, 240 SX bought it for $1200






Engine is seized up on account of being run without oil...
BUT what a coincidence that I have this laying around!!

My stock 5.3L from my truck




Plan is, with a little help from some members I'm gonna bore and stroke it to a 383 and drop it in the little **** box and see how she runs!

 

Looks like a fun **** box.

 

Turn it into a Skyline.....

 

Hmm, I wish you lived closer so I could (get in the way) help with it. I wonder how much added weight the LM7 has over the 240z stock engine and how it would affect handling?
Looks like it's going to be a ton of fun finding out.

 

My buddy wants to put my 5.3 in his 240sx.... but i doubt he has that much patience...

i got some extra parts if ya need any spoolin...

 

Could use a little help Jonathan and Bill...your always welcome to come down and help out a brother in need!
Shannon's gonna help me with the build concerning what I'm gonna need to do and where I go wrong. I'm also gonna bug Rex and Richard about the engine and set-up.

 

If i lived out that way i would be over to help every possible day i had time...

 

oh i guess they weren't kidding with all those rice jokes about you huh. I can't sleep

 

sweet, looks like fun
when its all said and done do an S15 conv to it hehe

 

sweet Julien looks like it's gonna be a lil beast!!! im with beastmode after all is said and done get a Silvia S15 front end conversion... but i cant wait to see the progress on this build.
