Have fun! Unless you're a lot better tech than me, you'll be chasing down issues getting it tuned for a while, finding coolant leaks, worrying about it breaking in correctly etc.

But it's going to be great.

Just an update the the motor was dropped in a week ago as planned. Been driving it over the past week and so far so good. Runs strong, smooth, no leaks, no issues. Couldn't be happier. Keep you posted and I put more miles on 'er.

Here is my new to me '79. 100% rust free gem! Slight lift, 31x10.50's. Power steering and did I mention rust free? I did pay the piper for it, but I cant resist such rare finds as this. I am currently restoring it (interior is done) but may sell it if I cant find the time. We shall see. Either way I am pretty excited about it.

Not a problem, figured the picture post was the best way to break the ice.
It's a very nice first gen Toyota that has been VERY well taken care of. 71k original miles as of now. Bought it from an older gentleman that used it to tow behind a RV. I bought it to use so that I don't have to drive my Ram Dully all the time. I've kicked the idea around of doing mods to it but its so clean and original I hate to mess with it. So I've toyed with the idea of selling it to someone who would keep it original. I really need something with a little more power. The 20r really doesn't like pulling my 17 foot aluminum boat.
