Lol I never noticed the grill was upside down. its all busted up and i assume the previous owner put it in and i have a 97+ header and fenders for it. and i havent seen any other nissan ld engines on CL up here there have been some sd series engines or maybe i just missed them.

Most of them came with the same transmission as the 280zx which is a 5 speed manual. some had the 4 speed jatco but it was more rare because these vehicles were made for economy.

Here is my block all tore down, clean, and painted

where did ya get ur glass or did ya have it made? I have no back window in mine and I don't want a back slider if I can avoid it.

Here is my truck. Last fall I spent a little time trying to rust proof it. it has had some body work that was poorly done. The hood and fenders will have to be replaced and I have a 97+ front end. I don't have a back window and am in need of one. I don't want a divided window either solid glass please. Here is my Engine. Its my Nissan LD28 2.8l Diesel, right before I started to tare it down. vacuum injection pump I still don't know if it needs to be rebuilt. however I will likely rebuild it anyway.

I can't seem to post pics.... I'm not sure why it just gives me and error and won't do it.

I could go TTB but I think that I will end up going full IFS. I never thought about spicing bell housings that is a fantastic idea I do have one of each and I have a tig welder as well. the only problem I see with me doing it my self is that the housing is cast aluminum I believe and cast doesn't make a pretty or strong weld as it has small air bubbles. I guess I will take it to a machinist and see what they advise. thanks

I acquired a 86 Comanche MJ about a year ago and I'v been collecting parts and such to start the build. I'm finally getting close to starting the build. Here is a list of what I have so far. Nissan LD28t 2.8l I6 diesel engine a whole 99 XJ Cherokee donor ford 8.8 independent rear diff ford 8.8 independent front diff I have some more things as well such as headlights and tail lights wheels and tires things I need advice on choosing: Transmission.....this has proven difficult because I have a old Nissan diesel and can't seem to find a fitting 4 speed auto or 5 speed manual that can be adapted. Transfer case....if I can get a used atlas 2 speed for less than 1200 I might be interested ;p independent front and rear suspension steering (might be using XJ for that) anyway lots more to list for both lists I'm mostly interested in what people thing in terms of powertrain. (tranny and 4wd) I will post pics as soon as start the build If anyone know where or how I could adapt a Ford or Chevy transmission to fit a L series Nissan motor let me know.
