The oil pan is a modified moroso pan. I forgot to take pictures of the modifications. i have to take it back off once the final turbo placement is set, I still need a drain back. (its similar to the truck pan in the faq that was modded for a sy/ty. The pan is so close to the crank that I had to cut the windage tray to clear the pan.

the front sub frame has bee taken out. the engine has been mounted as a stressed member of the chassis. no rubber or poly anywhere. the engine bolts in and with the two very stout mounts and becomes the link between the left and right frame rail. the axle solid mounts to the motor mounts. on the right it uses the stock mounting ears on the axle on the left its uses the three bolts you can see in the pictures. (does that make sense?) I will try to get better pictures soon.

I am a bit worried the the axle is now the lowest point but it still hangs no lower that a typical bodykit front bumper so I should be fine. (plus s10 parts are everywhere and cheap.)

Are the diff ratios the same you ask? no. before I get a lesson on why it wont work remember that I need the diveshafts spinning the same speed not the cv axles. tire size will make up the difference. with that factored in drive shaft speed will be less that 1/2% difference. that is not enough to cause problems. (when you drive in a circle drive shaft speed difference is more than that)

the car already has an j30 rear end and z32 hubs so that should not be a problem the front will use s-10 hub assemblies re drilled to 5x41/2 bold pattern or ford ranger hubs. yes s10 axles will fit in a ford ranger hub. with a little work) who would have thunk it huh? (ranger hubs are 5x4/12 like Nissan)

I'm currently in design phase for the front control arms. I plan to get the roll center back where it should be.
