Why'd he use the bad trans? Seems like a lot of work for that.

Yeah - i am hoping his engineering skills are better than his photography / Ebay listing skills.

I thought the same. Extremely let down by the two half assed pictures.

Looks and sounds like a badass project though.

There was a guy on RS25.com building one of these. I think he was also on NASIOC. Not sure if this is his. I'll have to find the threads.

Edit: Nevermind his was a Mazda truck.
