Hey Dsmer, just read thru your thread. Good looking rig man. Love the color. U put a lot of work in her. I recently started bringing my '85 p/u back from the dead. Had a ?. U stated u put a new gasket in for windshield. Did u pull windshield ? Can't tell in pics. Or just cleaned up the groove around wshield and put dealer in with new gasket embedded in it. Just wondering where I can get a rubber gasket for mine. Thanks

As far as the window gasket, I just called a local windshield service and he came out cut the glass out and reinstalled it with a rubber gasket... The stripe guy completely bailed on me so the stripes are on hold... I've just about got my 3rz ready to go in, I'll post some pics this weekend...

Yeah wiring is not really my specialty! My brother has done a couple different motor swaps in his mr2 days... As far as the tranny it's a the stock w56 with a bell housing from the w59.... The bell housing bolts right on...

Here's a couple pics of the install! And one video of me testing out the cluster and my tach fix! My oil pressure gauge is dead because I wired in the factory 3rz one and I believe it's just a dummy light.. The top pic is where I decided to mount the obd2 connector, the second pic is what I did to rewire my tach since the output for the tach is off the computer...

Yeah I mentioned that I originally installed the cluster with the 3rz sender which turned out to be just a dummy light.. I think it burned up my factory gauge so Ill be replacing that part of my cluster....
