Awesome now drop that bad boy in

 

I will be ordeing the full kit from tdswaps on Wednesday and starting the week after that

 

Motor sounds good, let us know how that kit from tdswaps works out

 

I sure will. I will be posting pics and a write up of the fitment of the kit.

 

So is it dying in your vids or are you killing it?

And did you start it without any fluids in the junkyard!?

 

In my trailer in my back yard it has coolent in a radiator. It did die. A few times. This is the first time it has been run in 4 plus years beside the 15 30 seconds in the junk yard

 

Just ordered my full kit from tdswaps.com

I can't wait until I have the kit to start the swap....

 

Updates?

 

Kit still has not shipped.
22RE is out and waitnung for the kit................

 

I will have the kit tuesday

 

Yay what version did you get.

 

The full kit.

 

Awesome let the games begin. That's what I got too

 

Some pull pics

 

My first impressions of the TDSAWPS.COM kit.

The full kit seems to be very good so far. I have installed the motor mounts and they fit on the om617 great. And have mounted the adapter plate as well.

I ran out of time.

On another note the bracket fab work is great and looks like quality fab work.

The powder coating is good as well. With the exception that ups “un predictable service” beat the hell out of it .

Here are some pics of the kit and what I have done so far.

 

Man that looks great! I can't wait until i can order mine in August.

 

Just some more eye candy.

I am going to go into more detail after I have the swap complete.

Just a few observation. The kit was a little snug but I expected that.
3 things I have noticed

1. The kit came with the power steering mount for a Mercedes pump not a Toyota as the tdswaps.com stated, 2+ hours trying to figure that one out.
2. I am going to have to move my trans cross member back about and inch. I am think this is due to the year of om617 I have and I have plowed with it and wheel it. so an inch after the years isn’t bad.
3. I did have to take the crank pulley off and cut and grind off one of the pulley guides off. Sorry it is a crapy weld. My tig is not working right now so I wire feeded it. very thin material.

4. I did have to massage the starter a bit, keep in mind it is after market. So that could be the cause ?

 

Awesome. Are you going to reuse the stock Radiator?
