It will be, if i use cross over headers, but i mainly did it, too make my wiring easier. so far the only stock wiring on the car, is the headlight bulb pigtails, and the wiper motor wiring. everything else is 100% custom.

Yeah, those cheapie spools you buy at autozone, only 60 amps though, I might go with a 90 or 130 amp alt. later down the road, when i get a radio and better headlights.

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck I found that 280ZXT at tear apart, and I didnt have enough time to get off the exhaust manifold and turbo.... So I took the rims and one of the workers was helping get the tires off the rims and we both broke one rim so I just left them all...

Ugh I really really really wanted all the T5 and turbo and rim stuff.... Well its up for grabs. Im not going out to SLC till next year probably

I feel sorry for the people who pay for those JTR mounts, I could buy an engine plate, make mounts for it, build my own trans x-member and have a driveshaft made, for the price of the book and mounts. (I also love how they pass off those sanderson tubular manifolds as "headers"

I took a look at that ZXT and I may go back for the head and manifolds. maybe. The T5 wouldn't go in revrse, so I'm not going to bother with it.

I took the valve cover off, the head isnt worth it, the thing was rusted up on the inside really badly. and I got the T5 to go in all gears no prob

Good to know. I didn't bring tools, I just went to look at it. With over 350,000 miles I may be just better off bulding my motor and not paying 400 plus bucks they want for that one (plus whatever to build that one up).
