RADesigns '82 2RZ swap to an A340

I got the entire harness from a 96 Taco, swapped in the Taco fuel tank, fuel lines and will use the Taco speedo cluster. Fun, fun, fun!
The motor is in, weeeeehaaaa. Fuel lines connected, steering column and shaft done, new firewall plate for steering shaft, ECM wiring into cab, blah, blah, blah. look at the pics,

Slow week, so far. But the cool thing was about a year ago I helped a freind part out a couple cars, a Caddy w/Northstar and an Olds Aurora with the battery under the back seat, sooooo I snagged the 6ft long battery cable out of it. Now this week while wandering around the shop in a daze I spotted a batery cable in a pile of stuff(I may a bit of a horder) anyway it was perfect length to reach from the battery to the 2RZ fuse box. I bought a junction stud to connect everything to, the pics show it all connected and the junction stud I used and its routing.

Went down to the Juniper Forest for a test session. Climbed a few sand hills roamed around some had an all around good time. And MAN! do I like this new motor, no complaints at all. On a side note I do need to add another leaf to the RUF's just a little too soft, OK way too soft. Anyway all in all a good day. Some pics of the trip. Had fun will have to return.
Looks at home here huh?


And the Juniper Forest................beyond that fence is Wilderness....

I added another leaf today gained about 2-3 inches of lift but this is no problem looks better actually. But now I need to modify the rear to get the ride height level. I'm guessing 3" longer shackle. I'm running the stock Chevy shackles now so making them longer is a no brainer.
