I don't know how popular the Chevy engine/drivetrain swaps are with the crowd here these days, but I figured I'd post up the pics of the buildup of the Samurai mud dragster that me and my friend are making for next year.

Details:
1989 Suzuki Samurai tub
400ci Small Block Chevy
TH350 Trans
Unsure of case ATM
10 bolt axles (would prefer a D44 front and 9" Ford rear, but that might not be in the budget at this point in time)


I'll be updating this thread as we continue with progress. It's gonna be a long, drawn out thread since I'm posting it as we build



Here's the first batch of pics. Just the tub getting cleaned up and stripped down:
