Havent posted on here in a while, heres copy and paste from another forum
Since I'm still waiting for the tranny getting some other stuff buttoned up.
Oil catch can, still have to put in the breathers, ill just pick up some little k&n filters.
Had a friend tig up the fitting for the water pump block off.
Heres the Trust oil filter block, no oil cooler yet

special thanks to mazworx. They sell this now for anyone who wants it
Anyway heres todays progress , put the tranny back together took 15 minutes total.
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
Got the driveshaft on. Another Mazworx part.
Engine coming out again for the 24 billionth time
Since i made the headers with out a tranny attached to the motor i wanted to make sure it didnt crash the headers into something after it was installed so did the driverside today
My Mile and a half of steering column clearance
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.
Now if it would stop raining id put this f*cker in.
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.
Engine is in for the last time, it will not be coming out again, hahahaha it is on the mounts, tranny is installed on the mount, headers are bolted up, everything is good to go just have to button some little odds and ends and should be almost done.
Motor mounts powder coated
Front view
Drivers side frame clearance
pass side frame clearance
Side profile
Clutch lines, slave, etc are in clutch engages perfect, starter is on motor turns over but doesnt fire yet, still need a couple more parts should have by tommorow.
Heres the booster clearance, although in the picture it looks tight , you can stick your whole hand in between the booster and the valve cover.
This is the way i think im gonna sit the radiator
Shifter placement, feels perfect.
Misc
Almost there

nice to see it running o and your navan bumper is no more.
This is all the wiring that had to be connected
-16 fittings welded to the radiator
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
