Close to seeing the space I would need to be comfortable.
-
Also went x-mas shopping. After many hours or reading and searching the web I've decided on using the front suspension from a second gen RX-7. Notably the five lug setup. There will be some mixing and matching but I might only have to make lower ball joint mounts for this to work. I can't expect all my angles to be correct but I can build in adjustability and find parts, unlike really any performance quest parts.

Made some modifications. Turns out I should have taken a bit more off but not a big deal.
-
Bit nasty in here but no real concerning issues. Just needs some cleaning and paint.
-
It's snowing outside so I have to clean everything up inside before I can take it to work to get everything blasted and ready for modification.

I'm not sure if I should get custom steering arms made or swap to s14 spindles. At this point I'm leaning to s14 to keep things simple and costs low.

If you've ever wondered what it would be like to build in a basement with a low ceiling.

I'm interested in both the engine swap and your rack conversion!
Thanks. I figured another LS swap would be pretty boring and basic at this point.
The quest might be well suited for this swap. The BMW engine has a deep oil pan bump down at the rear which seems to fit right behind the crossmember (with a bit of work) so that means everything in front of the cross member is open to fabrication. In theory, having forward facing steering arms may net me better handling but it's a low bar considering the steering box it had.

I like this engine swap. What's your plan for the front steer rack? Different spindles?
I am considering a few different options, but they all depend on getting the drive train mounted first. So far, I have switched the steering arms, so they are facing forward to give me a better look. I want to keep this cheap as right now I have lots of time to mess around with random concepts. I'm always open to ideas.

Watch me destroy my newly restored mental health as I stuff this 2.8 liter straight six into my quest. Why? Because f*** me, that's why. And of course, it's going to have a manual transmission and of course I had to ditch the tractor style steering box in favor or a rack that will have to sit in front of the crossmember. Why? Because I love pain.
I'm not sure if anyone uses this site anymore but I despise most social media so here is where I will be.
So, follow along and make sure to let me know what a mess I'm making.

Nah, keeping that for heat. Just ditching a functioning ac system.
-
Looking for one in good shape. Hit me up...

I'm getting rid of my ac system
Let me know if you still need parts.

I've got a 5 speed 93 lexus sc300 in the yard.....needs a rebuild but it's all there.....just sayin.....of course that's a 2jz....

As it says I need an alt bracket and an A/C bracket. I am also in need of the gauge cluster surround in black. The whole thing.
HELP ME OUT! I'd like to drive this thing this year!!!!
-
Gauge surround! All of it! How much to 55363?!
-
Looking for air conditioning and alternator brackets. And also cluster surround in black.

let's get this going! I need a set and so does pretty much every quest I come into contact with.
-
header panel?
-
Yes, count me in for the works. I've been waiting for this!
I have two complete sets (throttle body,mixer, and intake mani) but only need one done. Dunno if you need a set but if you did I could send it in for a slight discount on the one I want done. PM me so we can arrange this.

I'm here to live. I already found a job at a shop. I will be transporting the car up here in a couple months.
So I fell in love with it

Getting to oil pan sump to sit nicely behind the crossmember is my goal, along with creating as much space as possible for the exhaust without cutting into the car.
