Very carefully, with a lot of patience, time, and planning. It's not the first time it's been done either.

I'd recommend somebody buy it if it weren't still sporting IFS. I know that suspension is worn out from the weight of the engine... or will be soon.



Look how the tires are pointed in. Not a good sign.

Chev V8s fit just fine in a Toyota engine bay. Have had one in mine for fourteen years now.

It's a 2wd, look at the shift lever, it's not long and straight. It's the "T" design found on 2wd models. I've never seen a 2nd gen without a Tach.
