Lol, my thoughts exactly, plus I rigged it up where I can actually mount my SS intake cover with minimal hassle.

 

Nice ! Pics ?

I paid $75 for my TBSS mani(bare). I read that it flows just as good or even better than the ls6 so I jump on it. But your thought are my thought on it ! I'm about to buy a ebay 90mm or 92mm TB to go along with my 65lb injectors. All bolted to my 4.8 for my Datsun !

 

I would love to find an SS intake for that price...of course I would need the rail as well since its unique to it. I bought some 60 pounders for $200 a while back, but I do need some more for this project, or at least until I can find marine injectors. I love Datsuns, in Jamaica my Dad had a B210, I was more of a Corolla guy. Had a '76 with a 4age motor and duall 34mm Mikunit carbs with the GTS gear box and lsd diff. Good times

 

Yeah I had to modify the mounts with my really poor welding skills(ugly but works). My grand parents were from Jamaica ! My grandfather(part Irish) moved to Panama to work on the Canal where he had 7 boys(1 being my dad).

 

Now that is awesome. I went to high school with quite a few Irish in Jamaica. The whole catholic school thing I guess. Got any pics of the Datsun? I can't speak too ill of your welding since I plan to learn this fall.

 

My last name is Keene. The way the story goes is my grandfather(fair skin) left because he married my grandmother(dark skin), the family didn't approve of it due to the skin color. When he left he also left his family money too(supposedly a rich family). He also added a "e" on the end of our lastname to somewhat seperate himself.

You can find some pics here: Camaro is gone ! 260z is here ! - HybridZ

I haven't updated it in a long time !

 

Now that is an interesting story. Pride in self is more important than $. Nice to know a man can't be bought. If I make anymore progress on the truck I will post it. Doing a '68 LeMans as well so my time and wallet is divided.

 

wow. sinlge cab shortbeds that body style go for thousands. and urs looks pretty straight.

 

Its decent but a tad bit rusty in the common areas. Always loved the SWB's just glad I get to modernize this one a bit. Not sure of the most cost effective way to lower it, but so far I am thinking 3" drop spindles and...well that's all I got

 

Looks like a sweet build man! I'm doing a C10 with a Turbo 5.3L/TH400, but I'm pretty slow... About a year and half in right now haha
