ok got the motor running tonite!!! having a few issues with the starter but should sort them out in time, tried to mount a vitara radiator but its way to high for the 413 so stuck with the original, and the electrics worked out easy as so very happy, couldnt find a altinator so if anyone knows aof an alt out of a g16a carbed motor it would be helpful, got to get new heater hose tomorrow then all the plumbing is done...

then i decided to have a crack at making an exhaust because i had some 2 1/2 inch tube at home....dont know if its a good idea or not but ill give it a go...

Shit its looking good Ryan.... might have to think about doing the same to my truck :wink:

That's looking like a hell-fun truck. You probably already know this, but while you're messing about with the exhaust, I suggest you ditch the factory manifold and get extractors on there. All the horror-stories about G16 heads relate to exhaust manifold degradation. Apart from that, you get the obvious advantage of better performance.
