Bump. not sure if this project is even slightly still being thought about. But.....the bellhousing is done....

Subaru EJ25, meet Toyota W56:

 

yessss. thanks for keepin up with this. ive sold the wrx. but havent forgotten about my far fetched ej25 swap. time to hit up craigs list

 

I'm still watchin, very curious about this build!!!

 

the turbo version of this motor would beat the piss outta 22re

 

that would be a cool set up...

 

you start this thread on nasioc too?

 

i dont recall. but if i didnt i will once i get my hands on a motor. man i wish the adapter had been ready back in july when i still had my busted car. trying to decide on whether to start from scratch with a short block or just get a turn key motor from a wrecked one

 

Cool idea, and it's a great motor. Just make sure the headgaskets and everything has been done including valve cover gaskets because their probably close to impossible in the truck.

 

Well, it's being done! Early EJ22e. '85 short frame, with ext cab on it.



Here's how high he's had to lift the drivetrain to get the engine high enough to clear the frame (no body lift). He also had to move it about 6" forward

This would require a lot of cutting and/or body lift to do with an IFS truck!
