I haven't receved any instructions as of yet. he included them in my mid line kit w oil pan for $740 .he said he would have his wife email them to me right away that was 3 weeks ago. i don't even know if thay exist. i got a few pointers from him when i got the kit,some good, some bad. other then that my instructions were from previous threads, there's a lot of good info in those. I also had to redrill and the Toyota bolt holes on my plate i got from him. I'm also putting nuts on the other side of the plate for a pece of mind.

Got home this afternoon and found a box from TD swaps. Spoke with Brian on Friday. He was profusely apologetic. Hes had such a difficult year and was sorry for any problems he caused. Brian , all good now. Thank you for the parts. The new bellhouse adapter is noticeably better machined. Hope you understand that I did not mean to bring light to circumstance without cause. That being said , you made good on your promise ( still waiting for a couple things) . The parts are a very good value for the price. Maybe we ( the community) can help you with your business by sharing the work load in exchange for $ of course. I was tthinking if you wanted to sell responsibility for one or more of the fabricated parts. We could drop ship it to customers as orders came in. It would be easy to track. You could keep the buisness going and lessen your burden. I dont know. Its a wild idea I thougt of. there is a larger market out there for low tech high reliability motor swaps.

Phone call from Brian

Brian just called me to let me know he is getting some help to finish the orders he has to complete. He said he should get them done in the next 2 weeks. I was really excited to hear from him as I am very excited to get started on my swap. Not only has he been in the hospital but his mother has been as well. I have waited like everyone else has for this kit but I think his kit is worth the wait. You will get your kit he has just had problem's stacked on top of problems preventing him from completing his orders in a timely manor. Besides that I think this was a one man operation until recently he is getting some help. Since I am getting the motor mounts, PS mount ,AC mount for the toyota compressor and fuel lines that no other swaps offer (Brian offers even more than that but those are the parts I am getting) I am glad I chose Brian for my kit. I have talked to him 2 or 3 times on the phone now and he has been very helpful with advice on my swap.

I'm fighting to suppress my eagerness. I knew when I placed my order that I would need to be patient; but man I can't wait to get my kit and start wrenching. Every time I see pictures of Brian's work I want even more to start playing.

Take care of yourself Brian; I'll wait as long as I have to.
