Very sexy, very sexy. This is the second one of these swaps I've seen. It turned out amazing in the first, Imo. Can't wait to see yours done either!

 

think i am going to fab up the trans crossmember today, the old one is off by a few inches.
o i will do something completely different? who knows... :S
i did get my throttle arm made, had to do some grinding on the throttle body but it turned out okay.

 

so how is the project going its been a wile no updates

 

ya wtf birdduck lol

 

well i spent all day friday after work cleaning my pigsty up in the garage, and o boy was there a mess!
all clean now re-oganized everything looks all nice and clean and i have all this room now.. ooo wee..!

anywhoo... updates: wired in my fuel pmup relay, wired in the oil presure sender and temp gauge. installed shifters, and i remade my engine mounts..
i would upload some pics but this computer is a F#$@%$%@ pile! arg...
so wait till after 6 gmt.. anywho still have the radiator to deal with but i got that all planned out...

 

cool .. i need pics though hey did you ever get the inchworm adapter? .. i need one and they dont have them right now . i m gonna have to go 2wd on the other swap im doing right now till they do un less i can get one off somebody .

 

no i when 5spd, built a bell housing adapter. i will try photobucket again.

 

yea i wasnt sure why you ended up going 5speed and thought maybe you had the adapter already .. i read some where sombody had it but didnt use it just cant remember who .
thanks man .. good luck ..

 

okay got the pics to upload..
new engine mounts, just cut and modified my old ones, i didn't like the solid mount idea.



throttle cable setup.


shifters.


the way i am doing the radiator is kind of ghetto but i don't have the mnoney to buy one right now so i have to improvise.. i will get it done today maybe?

 

UPDATE:!!!!!!!!! it drives!!!!!! dsjhfiuyweef*$(#@*$!@

okay so today i started early, (10:00) did the following: built trans mount, built clutch slave mount, ran clutch line, bled the system...

clutch slave mount:

don't have pics of the line but i can take some, i need to install a rubber section for flex reasons, but that will be easy. still need to plumb the radiator so i can drive it around the block, instead of of backing it into the street and pulling it back into the driveway...

 

Well made more progress, wired up the alternator and
installed the washer fluid and coolant res, welded back on
my core support...
I dropped off my radiator to a local rad shop to braze on
a 90 up top and patch a leak... I tried to just use bent hoses
but it just looked like e...
I will throw up some pics of the radiator when i get it back.

Things left on the list:
ps lines
exhaust
intake makeover
smokey burnout... Jk that will be once i know all is well and
the moon is in the right cycle...

 

The factory 4Runner ps lines from a V6 should bolt right up. You may need to manipulate them just a bit for engine clearence but not much.

 

i was hoping they would, i was a jackars and tossed mine, well i thought i kept them but they dissapeared somehow?? i have some tubing benders and a flair tool, so i might just make my own just have to hit up evco for the big banjo fitting..

 

spent most of sunday morning fabbing up the headers, drier side turned out reary good...
passenger side could look a little better but it will work for now, i will just have to redo it later down the road.. don't have any money to go pic up my radiator to finish the cooling sid eof it all but that is the last part needed...

will be tapping the headers into the rest or the exhaust today maybe? see how i feel when i get home?

 

got the exhaust finished! yay happy day wee poopie!!
i have a few small leaks, one for sure is where the clamp is on the flex pipe, but i expected that anyway.. nothing big enough to hear at idle though, and with the 2 1/4
exhaust on it, its nice and quiet..

so after starting it and climbin under to get a close listen i decided to rev er up a little....
o boy its sounds great! revs smooth and the sound the intake makes when you crack the throttle is awesome.

better take it around the block to see how the power is now since i doesn't sound like a top fuel drag car.. after runnin for a min i gave it some gas and away i went! it pulled hard no stutters nothing just smooth power. approaching my driveway i decided to see how 3/4 throttle pulled........ i made it to about 20mph before the tires broke loose and i had to turn... o boy no sleep tonight...
