what fan set up are you going to use to cool it with

Akilleez1

I actually am using two pushing electric fans that were pulled from a geo metro or suzuki swift got them at the local wrecking yard They fit pefect right between the grille and core support so grille is still stock

How did you wire the motor. I have just about everything done except the wiring and i have no idea what I am doing when it comes to wiring.

Akilleez1

So are you carb or injected? If carb it is very simple. Also are you using an HEI dizzy?

Dras16

Carb. and yes HEI. I just dont know if i can run everything through the computer or if i have to bypass that. and if i can use the existing harness for the alternator and the distributor.

Akilleez1

Okay so I left stock harness in place but I also used stock toy alt and toy powersteering pump just modded the brackets a little bit. As far as the HEI goes I think I ran a new wire to the hot via ignition switch I will look and verify that for you. Simply because its been 2 years and I dont remember lol. I did remove all the fuel injection mumbo jumbo because its not need. but leave the wiper connections etc.

ok Thanks, I am using the gm alternator and power steering. i just dont know about the alternator because on the stock harness it has 3 wires going into the plug and then another wire that bolts to the alternator... right? what about your starter relay? i read that it wont pull enough current to start a gm starter

Akilleez1

If your set on using the gm alt. get a 1 wire hook up. as far as the starter goes I bolted main hot from battery to starter then ran a new wire from the ignition switch to the start switch terminal on the starter bypassing toyota harness all together. The 3 wires in the toyota alt harness is the reason I used the toy alt. Plus I have power everything in the runner and wanted the amps.

Dras16

doesn't the gm alternator put out more amps? i already got rid of my toy alternator and can't afford a new one. thats why im using the gm. which wire did you connect to off the ignition switch?

Akilleez1

Just depends on which GM alt you go with there is a wide range of amperage. As far as what wire to use from ignition switch you will need to use a volt meter to determin that...

Dras16

Thanks for all the help. I was able to wire the starter, distributor, and oil pressure sending unit. Now all I need to do wire the alternator. Hopefully it will be running in a couple weeks! Also are you running a different brake booster and master cylinder? Oh and I used the original toyota starter wire from the ignition and it works just fine.

ok update im building a new 350 its .030 over running edelbrock performer intake holley truck avenger vortec heads from a 98 burban now just trying to figure out the cam because the vortecs are somewhat limited on lift I want to get about 330 horse or more would be bonus I will have some new pics soon hopefully

Dras16

Are you rebuilding your old motor or did you get a whole new motor? Sounds like its gonna have some good power. I dont know a whole lot about motors or what type of cam to use but someday would like to add more power to mine.
