Thats where im at right now.Still have to asemble the front of the engine, and fab motor mounts.Waiting for planet miata to get a super charged miata in so i can get the super charger.This winter the truck is getting body dropped 3 1/4 inches and the back half is getting redone.


Thanks for looking
Jake

I can't wait to get it running. As soon as I get these 2 Subaru headgasket jobs done I can get a jump on it. My goal is to get it running by carslile all truck in August.
 
good looking truck, what ever happened with your motor swap? would love to see more pics of how tranny lined up in cab, and where ur engine mounts are.
 
Well lost my garage at the end of january and havent found one yet.Trying to rent a garage you can work in is very hard to come by here.But I got the motor mount plates cut and all the metal and tubing to get them done.Also picked out my engine management.Just waiting for some free time and a garage!!!!
 
thanks for the bump lol. up date. looking for a new frame at this point. found mine is twisted and I drug it through on the right side right at the carrier cross member. finding a a good standard cab frame is very difficult. on a positive note got my engine management in. picked up an aem ems4
