............still need to get a few more things (engine mounts, fan/clutch assembly, clutch, wiring harness & some other small things) before I can put it in.
Thats looks unreal. Nothing beyer than a fresh engine complete.
Interesting waste gate pipe on the exhaust.
Best of luck with the install.
Nice truck and very nice clean work. Looking through the pics it shows how well this truck is set up for you and your style of driving and trips. You would have thought the landy could have driven out of that hole. Oh well if only he had been driving a Nissan eh!
Thanks mate, yep, your right, well maybe 1 thing.....that new engine mounted in the engine bay and running, lmao.Quote:
