Alright got a few things done on this snowy day! I heli coild the holes on my manifold i JB Welded the part onto my water pump. i put the plate the fly wheel and the clutch on the motor got it on the picker and droped it into the bay havnt bolted it all up yet but that will get done tomarow!!





























BEEN SNOWING ALL DAY!!!!!!

 

will you be driving it down to florida?
how much will you list it for?
i may be intrested if you have indeed built it corectly and it runs great
i have a small budget so a 90 wouldnt be too out of the question

 

shiat man, that things going together like peas and carrots
good job bro, looks like your almost done with her....

 

Im not 100% on the list price yet i know they are going for a good amount in Florida and you can see exactly how ive done it on this thread!! ive posted it damn near step by step only thing i really missed was the whole paint job which i still havent even gotten to see in the sun clean yet im looking forward to that and before pictures and i still got part of that. every other step is in this thread and ive done this thing the best i possibly can and i hope she runs!! All in all its a brand new truck rear end tranny and T-case and all rebuilt and brand new i just did a fluid swap on all that But it was before i started this thread so no pics i used royal purple in all of it. but it wont be long its just REAL cold and its not fun AT ALL working in a non insulation barn with a little space heater trying to heat up a big ol barn! But it will get done im TRYING to leave back to Florida no later then Thursday but im not making any permanent plans because it never works out with this thing it seems and if i happen to need a part it has to be ordered michigan people dont like imports!...

THANKS ANTHONY shes almost done i appreciate the help on the questions but don't quit on me just yet i still got to finish it up!! And its more like spaghetti and meat balls!! I really do wish i had the time to pretty her up while i was doing this whole build but when i get this one sold and get me a 22re ill make that one perfect, if i can find a nice 89 extended cab 22re 4x4 that will be a truck id keep forever or if i happen to find me some money id look into a 95-99 extended cab taco 4 or 6 cylinder! Thanks again

 

havent quit on ya yet.
i have some decent pics of the vacuum lines if you need them.

 

WHOOO im drunk. sry yeah bud im going to need them i didnt do shiot today it snowed like a beast ALL day and i couldnt get anyone to go out there with me to stab the tranny! oh well i got to drink and watch it snow im GOOD! ill try and talk someone into helping me tomarow ill update and i dont know if i said it but yeah ill need thoes pics thanks boss!

 

Nice work man. This looks like a huge project so props to you for that. Good luck with the rest!

 

Thanks man im trying my best! believe it or not this is my first motor rebuild 100% on my own. haha. im decently mechanically inclined i mean i understand it a little! but thanks i really want this damn thing done i TIRED of it already i wish i would have either kept my taco or got a 22re! oh well stuff happens and its a good experience that sucks! haha. thanks for the support all!

 

ANTHONY i need them pics now! got the tranny bolted in cross member back on motor mounts in and started plugging the harness back in. no pics nothing new really so ill post when something comes up!

 

In your other thread....

 

Back to your picture of brackets. The one on the left holds the clutch hard line on the passenger side. The silver one mounts on the plenum and has vacuum lines on each side. It also holds the throttle cable.

 

Thanks guys!

So how much further do you think i have? just estimate I got the motor mounts in Tranny bolts and cross member, now all i have left is plugging everything in and vacume lines, belts, fan, radiator, intake. anyone can guess at how long that usually takes? i guess im going to buts ass and get her done tomorrow or at least try.

 

bout 3 strong hours left, just a guess, but probably pretty close.

 

I just read through the thread. IF you weren't from Michigan and Florida, I would think we were brothers. I have closely identified with all your little mishaps and time estimates.
I hope while I am typing you are on your test drive flying through snow drifts. Lord knows you deserve it.
Anyway props on the build. Very interesting read

 

Lunch time still not done for the day but im going to do a half day update while i got some down time. Decided to unplug the parts of the harness i plugged in yesterday to take off the valve covers i coated both cams and filled both sides with oil put 2 quarts in the passenger side and 3 in the driver before putting the valve covers back on. got the AC lines screwed in Power steering and Alternator plugged in plugged in injectors and started guessing where everything else went!. got a few pics of last nights snow and what i have done so far ill get some more pics tonight



















Last nights snow

 

Almost there

 

fricken snow????? wth is all that about?
bro your soooooo close, when i got that close i stayed up half the nite and finished her up.....

 

That Mountain Dew is powerful stuff, but there's no way it's gonna start your engine! And neither is that bowl.

 

HOLY SNOW!!
I don't miss that white junk in the least.
I am excited to see that motor fire up. The reason it isn't running yet is because you are not drinking enough beer.
Hurry up dude!!
hahahh
JK

thats assuming that nothing goes wrong!
