Wagonist
So I just got the wagon and as I drive it I just dream of the things I want to do with it, it is my first wagon but not my first build. I have built a ef hatch and an ek(which was stolen stinking thieves). Now off to the build with the wagon. Your input is welcome and I can't wait to hear some of your suggestions. This coming monday I will be putting in a B18 LS with DC headers, under crank pulley and msd coil. The motor was just rebuilt and it comes with a gsr B17 tranny. I will be posting pictures of that soon. As for the car here are some pictures so you can better see what I am dealing with. Will also take interior pictures soon!
Will also be adding a skunk2 pro suspension with blox rear control arms and skunk2 lower tie bar and camber kit, putting some bottle caps this weekend as well... Well hopefully lol! And also getting a lip from www.racingrubberlip.com he makes lips specified to the car and I personally like the way it looks, he is based out of florida
Oh the joys, all that will come before the paint, planing on getting two extra hood, rusting out one of them and wrapping another in vinyl, will probably wrap the hatch in some vinyl as well

A LS in the wagon is fun, I have the same and it's worth the headache I went through to put it in.
Congrats on the wagon, Welcome to the forum and Can't wait for progress pics of your wagon
Engine looks good, remember the half shaft is different from the autos and manuals. I learned that the hard way lol
Any questions on it, feel free to hit me up through pm and I'll help in any way possible.
Check out my build thread, I'm almost positve I have pictures so you can see.
If you go whale penis than you will definately have to relocate. If not than just getting the right size battery will do the trick.
Just make sure you do it right. Get a battery tie down and possibly a battery holder like the RVs use. Make sure to run the wires in a place that won't see much movement(won't get cut or frayed as easy)
If you don't do the relocation the proper way the first time than it could result in a fire or other serious injuries.
Good luck and keep us posted.
