i'm wanting to do a custom state license plate.
I just can't think of something worthy of putting on the x.
Got 8 characters you can work with.
Any ideas anyone?
I can't wait either. Just paychecks making me wait.Keep it simple.
V8 X
This is such an awesome project, I can't wait to see it come full circle.
Nice.V8EQPD
YES V8

text so it doesn't change my caps..
So uh. Once this is done. Anyone want to purchase a 4.6L? I'll have plenty of info on how it needs to be installed.
Yup. Hence the picture of one in the bed and one in the truck. (I don't think I posted both here. Just on book-of-faces.)You have a second one sitting around?
I think if you did a write up on it, then the interest would go through the roof. Especially if it goes smoothly.
::carefully considers your offer::
I'm interested in how you work out the bellhousing/transmission issues. Are you 5-speed as well? From everything I've read, the transmission can take the power as its the same one that is in the Z32. It just needs a clutch that can handle the load.
Yup. Flange front and rear slip. Thankfully unlike 'most' Ford transfer cases this one has a speed sensor on the output shaft.Does that mean the Ford transfer case also?
Easy.How are you going to handle the transfer case shifting? All the late model Fords are electronic.
Yeah. I figured the linkage wouldn't work. I was hoping the locations would be close enough that I could still come up and use the factory boots and knobs.That's going to be the challenge. In order to use the factory transfer case linkage, the new transfer case needs to operate the same way and have the linkage in the right location. I can tell you right now that you can't use the factory shifter from the X. The base is very different from anything else on the market. But. With the new transmission being from a Ford, it shouldn't be a problem to get a shifter that is an appropriate height. Just might take some fiddling. Which you're going to have to do anyway.
Yeah. It's actually a bit darker green but it is actually so close you can't even tell unless you really study it.A green intake? Is it the right shade?
I was wanting to keep OD the Trans is a M5OD-R2 Ford transmission.It will cost you .73:1 in your gearing but go with an np205 if you can find one for cheap, it's shorter than the bw cases and isn't a slip yoke which helps with driveshaft angles. What transmission is that and do you need OD?
I destroyed my center section of my 233b with the V6.○Driveshafts
Can be built to almost any configuration
○Fuel lines
Just lines easy
○A/C lines
Slightly harder, but still lines
○Power steering
Should be easy as the Nissan uses a fairly standard type of steering box
○Crossmember being in the way
Fabrication!
○Clutch Line
Again, as long as it's still hydraulic, easy.
○Throttle cables
Easy.
○Making it move without killing the rear axle
Wouldn't worry about that. The H233b is a beast.
Really interested in seeing how this comes out. I have a 5L in my shop from a project I never finished that needs a new home. And the thought has crossed my mined a few times to put it in the xterra.

Looks to be the same setup as what is in my F250. But the 250 has a rear flange and no speed sensor like this one.
The real issue is the transfercase itself I forsee. If I can find my tape measure in the house I'll go out and measure the Trans/tcase length in the X.
4.6L Engine length is around 27" and Transmission/tcase is roughly 50"
Yeah...
I snagged some measurements of my transmission. They are out in my vehicle. Whenever I head out for lunch break I'll post up what ones I got.I'll have to pull apart my box of 205 stuff to get a good estimate but I'm pretty sure the np205 is 12.5" from mount surface with no adapter to middle of a 1350 yoke. Since it's manual I can't really give you any help but a c6 isn't that long but it's auto and no OD. Unless you went with an AOD trans, but I'd have to get measurements of how long it is.
I have an extra 4.6L that I will let go for 125 dollars. Any takers?
Speak now before the weekend hits and it hits the scrap yard.
