1979 4WD 2JZ Engine Swap thread

Guys
The time has come to start a thread on my 79 yota. I am getting ready to tear the truck down and convert the leaf spring suspension to coilovers. 4 link for the rear and a 3 link for the front.
Engine is coming out and getting replaced with a 2JZ Twin turbo. Purchased all my suspension components from Mayhem Metal Works and looks pretty straight forward.
Stay tuned for pics and I will try to document this build with pics and videos.

Where are you getting the motor from? Definitely keep us updated on your progress. That would have a nice powerband with the motor to weight ratio.

Seriously would be sweet with a twin turbo in there! Love the 2JZ idea
