awesome deal.. I would have jumped on that in a heartbeat..
when you are starting the conversion, send me a pm, I am over in Hillsboro, I wouldn't mind meeting a fellow local wheeling and seeing how it is going...that is one conversion I am contemplating..

Hey Nathan:
I just replied to your PM. found something on craigslist that might help you out
Robb
When were you last up on Goat Mountain? I have always wanted to head up there but have heard that most of it has been closed off recently.
There is a guy down is salem that got a $1500 ticket for wheeling up there so I have been a bit gun shy about heading out there...not that I have been able to wheel for the last year that my truck has been under the knife
Heard the wheeling and view up there is great...

the big gray and white plugs are the ones you will have to splice into the truck body harness. ignition1, ignition 2, starter signal for ecu, speed for ecu, constant power, oil and other gauges, odb2 wire. it is not to bad to figure out. toyota made it easier by having that harness come though the same opening as the plugs that go right to the ecu. the two big plugs have wires coming from the ecu and the motor sensors.

update I've got the motor mounted using the stock mounts cutting an inch of the back of both bolting them to the motor/blocks mounts then setting the motor back in the engine bay and checking all my clearances and adjusting the tilt on the motor to factory tilt. Then I tacked the mounts on, pulled the motor and burned them in fully and threw some rubberizzed undercoating lol I've just ordered all the parts for the t100 oil pan conversion from shopTRD.com they seemed to have the best price on the web.... I also ordered a bellhousing stiffner plate, throttle position sensor and already recieved flywheel bolts from lcengineering will post some pics when I get a better camera

so i was just looking at my ecu plugs and I only count 8 and 13 pins across on the two plugs that are there which means according to this diagram http://board.marlincrawler.com/index.php?topic=19275.30 are plugs E7 and E8. Does anybody know plugs E5 and E6 are required for the swap?
Thanks Nate

plug e5 is very important, it has the main 12v source. e6 has various sensor wires that the ecu needs. i recommend getting your wire harness through the firewall and making your mount for the ecu before you worry about what the wires do. i made a decent hole in the firewall and bolted in the large engine harness plate. the two mangled plugs i personnally cut off and spliced into my factory ecu harness. how perfect do you want the swap to be? if your goal is no check engine light, that means hooking up more wires. the 2rz and 3rz ecu needs to see a speed signal and a starter signal or it will throw a light, egr must be fuctional or remove the vaccuum from the controls and solder in a 9.4k to 10k resistor in the harness of the egt sensor in the intake manifold, after unplugging the sensor, and lastly did you get the emissions box and control solinoids. that was the worst part in my opinion, getting it to fit. the emissions control is the only wire coming from the ecu that originally went all the way to the driverside through the firewall. it took me a while but finally i have drove my swap 800 miles with no cel. my truck is a 93 and my motor is a 97 2.7.
