Thanks man!

I ran a fused wire from the ignition switch to the couple of wires the engine harness needs to power up the ecu. I am probably going to make a switch panel and run everything off toggle switches. Starter will probably be a push button start. I used the stock Nissan skyline engine harness and the...

I found a fuel tank sitting around from my last duster. It was a 73-76 car. Does anyone know if that will remotely come close to fitting in the 64 a body? I won't have time to check it this weekend or work on any of my own cars, but just curious if anyone may know.

Well as of right now I think i found a car that may have most of the parts I need. It's sitting behind a shop that has a few Miatas (with a bunch of numbers and stickers, thinking autocross maybe)and some old alfas. As of right now the radiator and hoses are all installed, I robbed them of a...

a short video of it running https://youtu.be/LyHpwZsndNU

I agree, It needs to stay cheap. I got it to fire today by dumping fuel down its throat.

Unfortunately I do not. Didn't have to take very much of the front crossmember, but had to cut a bit out of the trans tunnel to fit the auto trans.

Most of the engine harness is wired in now. I was going to start on the fuel system, turns out the tank is missing (I never checked it before) but the filler neck is there. So now I need to figure out if I replace it with a stock unit, or fab in a more modern tank. I have a couple different fuel...

Same skyline a year later http://youtu.be/TS5BkaPnfKc

http://youtu.be/Kzo7lDPS8FY This was pretty much the same engine from my skyline going into the Cuda. 3.5 inch exhaust, inter cooler kit, and pod filter. Cuda should sound the same.

Wow folks seem to be more receptive on the idea than I thought! I should be posting and update this weekend! Hopefully a video of it running.

Yea the rb30 with a 25 or26 head would be awesome. As for swapping it into the car, it's pretty basic. I did have to open up the trans tunnel to allow things to fit. I did notch the front crossmember an inch, boxed it in to clear the front sump oil pan. But it all fits well. The wiring is super...

While I may get some hate for this, I decided to build this car as cost effectively as possible. It was a free car that may have ended up at the crusher. It's a 64 barracuda that was missing pretty much everything. No drivetrain, grille, headlights, broken tail lights, suspension parts missing...

This one is under the hood. Last one, side shot.

Here's the engine bay
