B2000 drift truck build

Awesome video! I know John (Wagner), did some tandem drifting with him a good 7 years ago in Xenia and Beaver Run.
Yeah, and you can have fun with your drift truck without totally trashing it. But that sure looks like a good time!

i saw that video a few days ago...best damn drift video ive ever seen...proves that you dont need anything fancy to slide. And also ...how would you feel about making me one of those swirl pots?...after of course you do yours and get it all figured out for mounting and what not.

What is a swirl pot?

Its a device that insures you maintain fuel pressure. Its mainly used in high grip cars that have built engines. If fuel pressure drops even for a fraction of a second it can go lean and destroy a built engine. Its alot like wet sump engines vs dry sump engines.

More tube work





good old time consuming fit up work



starting the planning of my coolant routing. This engine does not lend itself to side tank radiators well.

new water outlet



and welded up



gotta plug this junk



done



and starting the surge tank

had to cut up a bunch of the grill up to fit the radiator.

main cooling circut is just about done. Time to roll some beads and start on the heater system.







and unfortunatly with the much thicker radiator I wont be able to use one big electric fan like before. Ill use 2 smaller ones. Hopefully the radiator will make up for it though.

So Im thinking about getting a toyota 95 - 97 4wd grill. I like how they look and it will be MUSH easier to make work with my 4 runner fenders. Ill probably have to cut it in half and widen it but thats easy. I think the 4 runner turn signals will match up to it pretty well.

like this one...


OPINIONS?

OR ill just use the 4runner grill and headlights I already have. Might just do that.
