240sx hotness

[MunsonAuto]

Hey guys and gals, I just finished wet sanding and buffing my 240 tonight, so here's some pics.
In case your wondering what this has to do with ls1truck.com, I'm putting a 2003 5.3l in this 240 in about another month or so and I've found a ton of useful information on here.
The paint is a DBC quality, sprayed right here in my shop, all work done in house. Removed the stupid factory wing, filled the holes or smoothed/shaved the holes, painted the factory wheels that came on it because the aftermarket 15's i bought the car with were missing the center caps. The paint is called Blue Black Mica and is out of our PPG 2002 Foreign Paint Book, in the Subaru section; if anyone is wondering.
Anyway:

As far as the 5.3 swap goes, I still need: DBW pedal assembly and harness, Koyo KA (nissan "jdm" radiator), Dakota Digital Speed box, 2wd 4l60e driveshaft/yoke (is the 4l60e camaro driveshat yoke the same as the 2wd truck one?), and a MAF sensor. I also need headers (found some on summitracing that will work), some mufflers, and a bunch of other little things.
But it's going pretty good, I got my camaro accessories from KruznLow. I could start removing the stock engine and start fitting the 5.3 so when i get everything i just bolt it on and go, but I want to drive the car the way it is for a while to get used to it.
Thanks for the comments

Nice thread title Tanner...240sx hotness...you fag.
So you already have the motor mounts? For the rest of your stuff, try and find an 03 and newer truck at a junk yard and take the DBW pedal stuff off it plus the driveshaft. You can get a stock MAF off one of the forums or Ebay for pretty cheap.
I would go ahead and throw a 200 shot of NOS through the 240 motor and have some fun with it! Then once you blow the motor to smitherines, yank it out and start fabbing your motor mounts and get it set in there. You going to be able to mount it low enough in the frame without needing a Camaro/Firebird or GTO oil pan?
