some of you probably read my Nissan 340sx pipe dream, but with a TON of help from whitepunkonnitro, the foul, disgusting combination of old school muscle and new school hoonin' is going to become reality. I have to choose a car for the build. a scamp or a 4 door early dart. both are beat on enough for me to not care about cutting it up or hitting a wall here and there, but still good enough to pass for a ratty drift missile. a list is probably easier to read than a paragraph so I'll go that route.
body: scamp or early 4 door dart
power plant: starting with a 273 that I built a while back. not a fire breather by any means, but with a steep rear gear it ought to do fine for now.
transmission: dakota 5 speed. we'll see how long that lasts... but at $70-ish from the junkyard and a discount at the tranny supply store I can make it work.
rear end: probably 8.25... welded... a lot. geared fairly steep if i can help it. this is a beater build that I'm throwing together because I like to drift. not gonna spend big bucks on LSD.
wheels and tires: black steelies and whatever freebie tires I can get my hands on.
it's gonna be low, loud, and it's gonna go sideways. I'm a broke 18 year old college kid who's more than likely going to be living in the shop with the car. not putting much into this car. it's going to work and that's it.
don't have pics of the car or anything entertaining so I'll post pics of the motor I guess.
