Good to know. Did you leave the plastic shield on the steering shaft? The tundra manifold is a bit close and I have thought about removing it.

 

Shaggy did you pull the cable off a wrecked car or just pick one up from a parts store? Can you remind me about what you did for fuel lines.

It looks like I am going to get the 119 flex a lite. Which fan did you end up using?

 

I did take the plastic shield off the steering shaft. I'm gonna use some really good header wrap as well. I room the cable off the parts car. Im gonna get a new one though the clip that holds it to the pedal is broken. But u will need the retainer that the bolts run through that bolt it to the fire wall as it dose not come off the Toyota cable. And I haven't got a fan yet still looking into that. Was thinkin bout running 4 small ones.

 

Ok I ordered the flex a lite 119 fan and controller.

 

Just pay attention to which direction that the fan spins! Haha

 

Will do. I ordered the nice control box. Dang thing was almost as expensive as the fan. But allows much more control than the cheap unit. I only want to do this once.

 

More progress, I picked up my fuel line. I had a custom braided stainless line made that connects down at the frame rail and then connects to the fuel rail on the driver side. I will also be picking up my radiator. I droped it off to have the necks turned to the correct position. I need to turn the tundra manifolds so the 02 dosent hit, finish exhaust, connect cooling, get to the exhaust shop, and wiring shop. Then done and get to drive... I installed the Lexus throttle cable, so nice, and much cleaner too...

More to come next week...

I also bought another rig to part out again. This one was non add and had stock 4:56 gears in it. So I will be pulling the 4:88's and swapping over to the 4:56 gears I think.
The rig also came with brand new BFG A/T's 33x12.5 and on it. Gotta decide between the BFG's or the Toyo MT's that I currently have on it. Either way gonna sell one set.

 

Yeah the Lexus cable is so much easier to use. I don't know how people rout the toyota cables I couldnt figure it out.
The wiring isn't to bad to do.

 

I just don't have the time for the wiring or the patience for it. How is your rig doing?

 

It's good. I don't think I'm gonna hit my.deadline again. The misses isn't working again so it comes down to food or truck. She might not like it if I chose truck over food. Right now I'm working at using a 3.4 air box. Got the radiator in but I have some coolant leaks. And I need to get some slightly shorter hoses.

 

I think I may try an make harnesses for this swap. With the tranny delete and what not. It would make things simple for people on this swap.

 

Ok so I had a great time at the great wolf lodge in grand mound Washington. Fun park to visit.

I got the rad back with the necks turned. I either need to trim the core support or move the tranny back which means trimming the shifted area. I will pull the transfer stick and see how much I need.

Stay tuned more to come.

 

What way is your bottom hose pointing. I had my neck pointing strait up and it runs into the power steering pump. So I had to take it back and have it turned. I'll try an post a lov tomarrow on my thread when I do an update. I need to pull it back out anyways to put shorter hoses on.

 

wheres all the pics man !! hey guys as far as the radiators go .. the one im using is like the one 85toy got .. all aluminum welded 2 rows 1" thick ..19x22.

and i can tell you that it doesnt come close to the all copper brass 5 row my friends using ,were both using 3 -10" fans and the same fan controller his engine will stay alot cooler than mine will .
if i really get on my engine hard for a while the fans and radiator struggle a to keep up the cooling .

we can run my friends really hard all day and it wont struggle at all ..

the only difference is i welded shut the small hose coming off the thermostat housing and we didnt do that on his . .



and shaggy yes you need to angle the bottom outlet.



im running 3 fans not 2


ohh and i paid a hell of alot more for my freaking fans .. his are the $15 fans off ebay.

 

My Mother and Father were Killed in a traffic accident on 8-8-2011 just out side of Woodland California. This project while mostly complete is on indefinete hold. I have family business to attend to.

I will make a decission as to whether I will finish this project or just sell it in a while.
