That's really cool. I like this one alot, the building behind your car and the wood in front really looks sweet. The whole industrial thing is awesome.

thanks a lot, i have decided on a engine swap for it. I have been looking at the 1uzfe engine off of a lexus sc400, ive done some measurements and i have like enough room to fit in the engine bay.. for the transmission im going to use one off a 240sx or maybe an sr20 witch ever one i find cheaper I will have to make an adapter plate but thats not a big deal.

Sc400 ~ 250hp in a 3500lb car.

Your car is going to be a rocket.

damn straight.. 250hp and 270 ftlb of torque, and thats stock engine. I am going to have to make custom headers and bigger exhaust and a custom intake manifold with a q45 throttle body so it should be more... the cool thing is that the engine is very cheap, i found a couple engine complete with harness and ecu for less than 600.

Well its almost swap time, i'm just waiting on my tax return hopefully i'l get it this Friday. There is a local guy here that wants to buy my current engine complete the only problem is i don't know how much it's worth.When i got the car it hat like 5k on the rebuild and since i put like another 8 or 10k. it has a weber 32/38 carburetor and headmen header. 5 spd transmission, Does anybody here know a fair value of the swap so i don't undersell it.. thanks a lot guys.
