Pics showing the old frame. I gave up on the idea of saving it and picked up a frame from dragr1.
I went 7" forward for the front hanger and 2.25" back for shackle tube.
Front crossmember i reinforced and gussetted.
I needed to relocate the motor mounts to accomidate the 5vzfe swap i am doing so i bolted up the engine and trany together and used the v6 tcase crossmember to locate it.
Here are some shots after i wired wheeled, media blasted and paint. I used coating system from KBS.
I ended up using IFS wheel hubs and tacoma rotors with v6 calipers mounted on other side of knuckle ears.

[QUOTE=Philbert;51767379]Thanks, man! NOT a rush but would really appreciate it if you could have them check out the T stat housing for me 
So, are cadillac calipers 4 piston and plug n play with the mounting bolts and hoses? I've heard of V6 calipers being a clean swap (Toyota....), but that you also need a larger dual diphragm brake booster and larger master cylinder if you do it....[/QUOTE
Are you still looking for T-stat housing? I ran across a 86 4runner turbo today as the yard. I picked up the housing just in case along with Altimeter and Digital dash.
