1983 sr5 pickup 2jz twin turbo swap
I'm new so hello. I've read through some of the forums and can't find exactly what I'm looking for. I acquired an 83 Toyota sr5 pickup (manual) 4x4 and I'm wanting to put a 2jz twin turbo or another turbo engine in its place. I do understand it's a lot of work and somewhat of a pita. It's a one owner truck also with just shy of 100k on all original. Body is a bit rough with rust but I don't care. This is a play project that I know I'll have to throw money at and I'm OK with that. I do have a full working machine shop which include welders, lathes, hones etc and I an mechanically inclined but the is a first custom swap for me. I do want to stay with efi and prefer to stay away from the v8's. This is literally day 1 brainstorming and gathering information. If you have some valuable information to offer I'd greatly appreciate it. If you don't then please move along.
