looks like you have some work ahead... looking foward to watching the progress on this build!

I'm not going to beat on you on the engine choice, I actually like the different thought process on this one! keep up the great work!

I was going to be cheap and do them myself... :shock:

I bought today Jeep Cherokee steering axle, painted it right away when i got home... :lol:

Now I have to make some money with my own business, so it will take a while before next update...

I got few hours my own time, so I made a new fuel tank... It`s not ready yet, have to make rack for fuel pumps inside the tank... Tanks capacity is 16.3 Gallon.

Loving the tank. did you put some baffling around the pumps, or are you putting the pumps in a bucket?

More like a bucket. Here is few pics about this evenings machining...

Wish I could see in there, lol. I bucket would be nice. I ran a few wagons with injection, and no baffles/buckets. No good at 1/3 tank. I like the aluminum. I was going to build one out of stainless, just on't have the desire right now.

The frame isn't looking too good. But there is a tone of room back there in the 2 doors, so you could fix/fabricate a new frame rail no problem.

I`m going to use some foam too inside the tank. Usually I have made som baffles, but this time I use this bucket style. Buckets capacity is about 1.06 gallon...

Frame is no problem to me, first I have get it to sandblasted, then some welding and more welding...

interesting build, my son has an sc400 with same engine and that car hauls *ss, not to mention you've saved 500lbs (Pontiac vs Lexus curb weight - 300lbs, engine 1UZ vs sbc - 200lbs) should be able to top listed 150mph top speed rating with better transmission and suspension, good luck
