so continuing on with the build .. got the battery trey done ..







I like to use the 84-88 rad overflow tank , as it's smaller and offers better room for the battery .
also , now have the Alt , starter ,Tranny and ADD wired ...

yeah !! it runs ....
had an issue with the starter "clicking" so I spent 2 days (long weekend) trying to figure out why ? ...
I assumed it was my wiring .. but as it turns out , and with MOST "clicking" starters .. yes you guessed it .. it was the contacts ... or so I thought !!

I replaced the contacts , and re-installed the starter ...

click click click .... crap !!!!

pulled it again , and bench tested .. starter NFG . Ended up buying a NEW starter .. and installed

4Runner fired right up , and puuurrrrrd like a kitten

I'll get a pic of the contact tomorrow .. crazy , I have NEVER seen one like it , it was actually bent , and broke the spacer plate undernieth as well

personally , I like the power of the 5Vzfe .. even got one in my /83 ...... it's the same amount of work as the #rz engines so why not more HP

As the owner of the above-mentioned 4runner, I just wanted to say that Corey does really excellent work. Everything that I've gotten done with him has been to a very high standard. I am also happy that we went with the hood scoop route for the swap. One thing in particular that I like about it, which doesn't show up very well on the photos, is that the sides and the top of the scoop have a subtle curve to them that matches the lines of the original hood. Thanks again Corey!
