37k aint bad. Thats installed. Complete and tuned. To build just the motor alone 20-25kIf I could afford it, it would be good for the economy. But my brain says for the price of two, I could get a good used turning center and build my own. Just a pipe dream for me either way.

No room with 4 link and notched frame.. There is kinda a space opposite the gas tank but I have side exhaust that dumps out right there

At 770whp, i had to rebuild the bottom end 3 times on my 3.2l i6. First was crank bearing premature failure,second was warped head studs and deck, 3rd was because a valve retainer snapped off and destructed the living shit out of 2 block cylenders once again. I had literally rebuilt the bastard 4 times! The 4th time going back to stock and selling the car! I have built a decent amount of cars pulling 4+x more power then stock. Reliability went out the window with ALL those cars regardless of my stand alone management and they have never seen anything less than c16 because detination/pre-ignition is so common in our weather. Clutches,driveshafts,flywheels,axles,fuel pumps,turbo's and restrictors ect will all go out soon enough lol. You are very correct on that practical reliability statement. I have never owned/built a car that didnt get fixed or worked on atleast once a year and that was a lucky year.

Hint * the block started at 3.0
I did at one point own a 450hp e46 with an AA supercharger kit. It was bleh, ate up more fuel then the fun it provided. It was an entirely stupid idea to bolt that kit on my daily driver haha. The 770whp was at 29 psi (74mm t8
<fucking phone doesn't want to delete this random smily face)on a stripped and gutted 97 n/a chassis supra. The car was a huge hassle to even just drive to the store. The transmission chattered so much that i couldnt have a conversation leaving parking lots then i could only really get down on the freeways as i needed like 500 fucking feet to just build boost lol. After a while i got sick of fixing and swapping parts @racerboy71 .

nissan has a 3,0
I no them things like the back of my hand does the exhaust on drivers side still cut over in front of Trans like factory pipe... if so build a bracket that blots to frame covering fuel filter next to trans, you can install another bracket to bolt to frame to mount on passage side were gas tank filler neck is on drivers side. Mount in the bed and get tonneau cover. Is the bed cut up for c notch, can mount on front cross memb we by crank pulley kinda under radiator. Get rid of washer tank and install a tank from a 95 Silverado which is much smaller and place setup there. I have built many of those trucks and suvs

Need the full bed, I dropped it so I can solo load my race bike after a long day on the track. I'll get under there and check those places tho see if it's feasible for me thanks for some motivation to get dirty!
Lol no problem you can get various size air tanks from short fattys to long skinnies. The pump and tank do not have to mount together. I use to be into hydraulics. Had a 98 Tacoma on switches. Rear end notched 4 pumps 16 batteries. When I would 3 wheel the front tire would sit on my shoulder and I'm 6ft tall. 13x7 knock offs were the shit son

My buddy is trying to "fix" my shitty car as we speak, so that I may drive it out of my driveway and maybe get to shoot it with guns or sets it on fire!
That or get the not-for-profit to come tow it away for free!
I really did want to watch it burn though....
