Engine swap with a Chevy small block.

Take out everything that you don't need in the interior.

Find lightweight panels.

Make sure to have extra tranny and engine mounts.

Look at some B&M trannies.

Cut off the exhaust at the headers you will upgrade.

Get some drag racing or off-roading tires.

we have an '02 Dodge Ram 2500 the only power stuff it has is just your standard stuff (windows, locks, D. seat, stearing) no engine power boosters(as of right now ) except for the stock turbo

lol my 88 ZX has the same stuff the truck has and it all works but the pathfinder has probably had a rougher life than the Z since used to live in Orange County area until it was brought up here and parked for a few years
