    I'm going to 2.3 turbo swap my Ford Ranger. ...and by that I mean I've had a thunderbird engine in my garage for 10 years.

    Bitchin, the Datsun is what brought me to your channel, I'm excited. And my biggest challenge is always over thinking things, and making it rougher than necessary. That's with everything, wiring, Fab, or even bolt on. Keep it simple I'm learning.

    @jordanmelville1 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    I think the hardest part of any builders making sure you have enough money to build what you want because then everything else is still. Yes it’s difficult but definitely worth it in the end when you know you have the money to get the parts that you need and utilize the things you need to get it done and also having the time to do it
    I believe for me wiring isn’t my favorite it’s definitely scared me. Other than speaker wire
    but anything engine/drivetrain related with wiring definitely makes me nervous
    But I can’t wait to see y’alls car started driving 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽☺️

    Only opinion that I have is you should have put ARP head studs in. I completely understand your theory on the torque to yield bolts but you will most likely lift the head using those bolts compared to ARP. Stretch is what you're trying to avoid and torque to yield bolts are meant to stretch.
