looks good man. Just saw in your sig you have a 03 sentra. Is it a plain janer or a ser spec v? I had an 04 that I totaled I love those cars.

Ok I am down to making a bracket for the power steering pump. I want to use the bolt holes on the head and I work with water jets so making one is no problem but just having a good designe to go with is the problem. If you have some ideas or pic's please hit me up.

Mr Wiggles its just a 2002 nissan sentra GXE plain but it is a nice car never any problems out of it I am needing to do some service work to it but want to get this truck done first but I am running out of time and need to get it service up soon.

I hope to have this truck running by saturday at the latest.

[texasbigbear_wink]

Sorry but I have to put the truck on hold for a bit. I need to take care of some other things first.

[texasbigbear_wink]

My new tires and rims! 18x8 with 255/55/18 front and 18x9 with 275/60/18 back. We Started working on it again. We will be dropping the front 3'' with drop spindles and doing an axle flip to the back. I will add pic's as we go.

Here are 2 pics off my 83 Power Steering Bracket , If you have factory A/C you should have this bracket laying around somewhere.

I have an 87 Non A/c Truck also if you need pics of the OEM bracket

Thanks Desert I have took a different rout. Pics to follow.

I have went with a used serpentine kit I pulled off a 95. We also have installed 3 inch drop spindles in front and I made the brackets and flipped the rear axle but now the back is lower than the front. I was looking for it to level the truck out. I have 18x8 255/55/18 in front and I think 18x9 275/75/18 in the back. I think the leaf springs are worn flat out because the axle is know 2 3/4 inches from the frame. Not sure what I am going to do about this yet. I don't want to lower the front anymore than it is so the back needs to come up. Let me know if ya'll have any info or pic's on resolving this.

Looks Great , Did you measure before and after to see exactly how much drop?

Dez

[texasbigbear_wink]

No Dez I did not. I should have. The drop spindles on the other hand brought the bottom of A frames at ball joint point down from 9.5 to 6.5 inches from the ground. I added new stock springs to the front before I decided to drop the truck.

How'd you get the control arms so clean? Sandblast? Looks awesome!

this thing is sick!
did you modify the intake to fit on those heads?
because of the horizontal center bolts they dont work with older intakes. what intake number is this?

[texasbigbear_wink]

Telecasterjoey.. I just sandblasted them and then painted them. Sorry so late on reply.

[texasbigbear_wink]

threeonthetree... this is the link to the one I got http://www.summitracing.com/parts/EDL-3704/ there was no modifying because my motor was a 87-95 tbi 5.7 The 87 chevy truck was the first year for tbi so mine was ready to go.

Some pic's after we added the serpentine belt kit off a 95.

Just one suggestion, if your going to run Headman headers you might think about a heat shield for your starter, those headers can heat that starter up pretty quick.

[texasbigbear_wink]

Terryj--- Thanks for the heads up. I have not pictured it yet but we have installed a Mini Hi-Torque starter that should hold up to the heat from the headers. The one pictured is a stock one and yes I agree it would not hold up to the heat.
