NWT87PATHY

hey, thanks for all the reply's , not much time for computers sadly.. but earlier this week i dug my pathy out of Snow Drift Tomb on a very mild day..lol she's been sitting for a couple months at around minus 35 in a snow drift no less, Not in the wear house were i left her :confused: 20 mins of Shoveling go buy, i get into the cab, pop the hood the battery is'nt swollen tons of oil in the pan Go to turn it over, 2 turns.. no dice, 20 min on the batt charger.. she fires with half a turn then it started to idle really funny in between 1500 and 2000 rpm, vacuume leak any way, i let it warm up, temp and oil pressure gauge working fine, i go to put it into reverse the clutch is really slipping bad in her, slap it into low range i backs out with having to redline to get the power to the wheels, any way, i have it out of the snow drift -bounce- , and i have also got together a D40 Front axle witch i have to rebuild out also i found some leaf springs kicking around out of a 71 for f250 will they work? but then after reading these post's it got me to thinking, to hell with it, ill keep her a bit tame but do a Solid axle swap and do 3 inch of body 3 sus so i can cram 35's under the wells and swap out my 87 motor for a Newer motor from a 95 or something, Do the all WD21's have universal Motor mounts? and are the tranny's compatible? BTW.. Do i really have to drop the trannny out to do a Clutch swap or can it slide back? -Scott

haha, I Wish!, I'm just a very ambitious person that works hard to earn money, but now that im working in the Diamond mines in YellowKnife NWT, I have funds. This is going to be a long process i figure, maybe 2 years untill its almost done, as of now its sitting in my wear house.. just sitting. I'm looking at putting up wards of 30,000 into this project , I Figure why buy new when u can build your own for the Same amount or even less!, I have been looking at this build seriously, but I'm stumped , Ive been told to go with a 350, but I think a Turbo'd v6 would push it just as well, but as far as if i should get rid of the IFS for a Solid Axel would be in order, or if i should change the Gear ratio's keeping in mind this will be my Every day driver that could do anything when ever i want it to, maybe 6-8 inches of lift and max 35'' tires. if anyone has input, please, I'm all ears -Scott

Hello, I bought a 87 Pathfinder this summer so i could rebuild it, When i got it in Edmonton AB it had 356,000 km's major rust problems for 1400 buck's, i had to drive it home witch was 3,300 km's away to this place called Inuvik NWT, So i got it here safe and sound put the cheapest mudd tires i could find on it ( Wild Spirit RVT's ) 30x12.5's, and with out thinking about the long term i drove i drove it untill it would drive no more, So now im here with my project ( Exellent ).. I want to compleatly over haul this Pathfinder with a passion, I want to get a beefed up power train ( Turbo Charged ), get a solid axel for the front and so on, also sit it on 35's. other then then the body work witch im going to do customly i need some ideas, well.. good ones, that will not only make this an every day driver but the meanest Pathy in Western Canada. -Scott
