Yea the motor sits VERY nicely, i offset the motor to the passenger side 1 1/2 inches even to allow clearance for my turbo setup. The radiator that i chose, that you see in the picture even allows for 2 1/2 I/C piping to run right past the radiator and into the nose cone , i was pretty happy about that.

As previously stated, its in the process of being prepped for a cage, and a rearend swap, and full (F & R) coilover setup...it will be dropped, on hopefully some 16x10 rears and 15x8 or 9 fronts.

If your are going for that wide of wheels, you will need some serious fender mods. Both front and rear fender arches will need to be cut out and either flares or a widebody kit added.

Hp goal should make it a handfull.

Yea i plan on getting the CPracing fender flairs front and rear. Test fitted my 17x9's +20 offset (for the width) I think that 16x9's with a 35 offset would work honestly...with only rolling the fenders...and maybe a 235/40 tire

btw...my hp goal wont be all that problematic...i already run a 400whp 240sx KA-T right now as my daily driver
