October 2, 201312 yr yes the EJ starter is shorter very nice,for my T case setup that means I can mount the engine just a little further back.
October 5, 201312 yr Author looks like I may drive this Hog Tomorrow, today I tidied up the engine compartment, lengthened a heater hose, a gas hose, moved some wires around, moved the rad top forward 1/2", lengthened the steering knuckle, mounted a 2000 Y pipe in, looks more like a U-pipe ,bought a rad hose, so looks like shifting linkage, driveline, rear track bar and its a driver, been just over a month so far, still got tons left to do , hope to hit the trails in a couple weeks Edited October 5, 201312 yr by Scott in Bellingham

October 14, 201312 yr How many degrees of motion do you have in that driveshaft center joint & what vehicle was the donor?
October 14, 201312 yr Author How many degrees of motion do you have in that driveshaft center joint & what vehicle was the donor? the front is stock 90 Subaru wagon from the car, rear u-joint and flange is Toyota pickup, not sure motion, it does have forward/reverse movement, its like a cv joint
October 14, 201312 yr more gusset at the pan hard mount frame wise . Like . A LOT. Both sides. I just keep wanting you to build something that will last. Why won't you ? lol

October 14, 201312 yr Ah, I get it...the center is a trunion joint. Correct? It's a DOJ type CV. Looks like a late 90's legacy driveline. Some models have this type, others it's just a Ujoint. My thought is that it won't have enough slip. it's not a slip yoke. When that axle starts going up and down that joint may not have enough travel. Scott, look into Nissan and Izuzu drivelines. Same input ends at the trans, and flange at the axle. Get 2wd model one from nissan will have slip section in it.
October 20, 201312 yr Author got her road worthy and went to walker , I really like the car, drive easy , good performance,
October 20, 201312 yr Looks good. How was it for road manners? I'm guessing a front tube bumper is in the plans.
