Good news is the mazworx tranny to chassis mount for the sr20 kit is a direct bolt on in my application which means that the drive shaft for the vg trans with sr20 will bolt on too, makes this ten time easier

Clutch will be here tommorow and after this weekend motor should be in there permanatly.

Fixed the pass side header, now it doesnt hit the starter anymore and clears everything else.

Got the clutch in today,

Its a z1 motorsports single disc should be good till 500lb/tq.

It all lined up fine, z32 pilot bearing even fit into the vh crank perfect.

Its been rainging all day for the 5th day in a row.

Just getting little odds and ends with the valve covers and the headers done.

Wrapped them today. Tie raps are just to hold them in place because i ran out of hose clamps, and safety wire. Now me nor my passengers will burn there feet by the floorboard.

This is all the wiring that had to be connected

Fabbed up an alternator bracket for the 240sx alternator, and used the old vh45 a/c tensioner flipped upside down and sideways to tension the whole assembly. The powersteering will work right above the alternator however i just want to drive the car at this point so ill make the bracket later, haha

Plenty of room for a vortech supercharger now with the rad mounted this way. plus i have an empty 6 rib pulley space on the crank pulley
