My son & his friends are building this drift car out of a 240 found in a field & a donated '97 Suburban which has a bad trans. The engine is good. They have lots of nice drift parts & lots of 240 experience. Their wiring & injection skills are lacking so they begged me to help. I've done research on this spider injection & will be sending the pcm to brendan (lt1swap.com) to get the it modified to remove the egr, smog, vats , etc. Then will modify the wiring harness. The interior, lights etc are totally stripped. Will make a switch panel & just have minimal gauges.
They still need to find a manual trans but are leaning to an S10 that we have read is a good one to use. What years are the best? The friends dad has a huge used car business & has a couple of late 90's S10's with severe body damage that might have manuals. That's where they got the Suburban.
Is there a type of header will make it easier. Like Hedman block huggers? OR S10 shorty headers? Is there a front sump oil pan which works best? Looks like we also need to add an oil filter relocation kit.
Another friend of ours will be doing the motor mounts & trans mount. Are there weld in motor mounts available? We can make them if not.
