    I gotta find it, but when I do I'll let you know if you really want it. I got rid of my truck and my new runner is efi..

    lol ya i know what thats like. i dont like holding high rpm for very long time. i try to cruise at 70mph at 3k. but even that (3k) is high for me -for highway cruising. especially for these engines. but oh well, i must. i have to drive that way, i take freeway to work. and with the LCE race header into a 3in exhaust with a hooker max-flo muffler dumped before the axle, it can get pretty loud lol

    I built it and I had no problem with holding 3-4k, but 6k is too much.. I cruised 80 at 3500 everyday

    Any Chance you would turn loose of that 3rd member? My 4.11s are a bit short.

    I have a holley 500 2bbl off a circle track car. Probably buy a new one though as this has the choke tower removed and power valve delete.

    I hear you on rocker price but its a complete set with towers and hardware. I might just get arms,shims and possibly shafts as mine is 36yrs old and alignment is pretty bad. I will call delta. What is max lift and duration on a hybrid without piston notching? I was thinking that 280-90° .450 lift would be about right for the powerband I'm after.

    Anything you might want on trade? I have a nice W50 sitting in the garage, an '80 steering box, and some complete '80 disc/spindles.

    I don't have my 77 anymore, only my 89 4 runner. Only things I'd really trade for are nice bucket seats or front valance/bumper for my runner.

    Here are the details of my "cheap" all-motor built '75 Celica 20R which was running 14.1 secs 1/4 mile passes on street tires about 18 years ago (smoking tires pretty much all first gear and part of second..). Should have been close to the 150HP, if not more. From top to bottom:

    Ported and polished 20R head. Opened the ports to match the valve's diameter. Intake slightly coarse, exhaust mirror-like ported. Don't cut the head height.

    Schneider racing cam. .527 lift. The wildest thing they offered. Double valve springs, forgot brand. Valves guides cut because of the huge lift. Stock retainers.

    Valves, stock but polished on a bench drill with a grinder wheel. Double angle job.

    Cannon dual sidedraft intake setup with two 45mm Webers. Holley red fuel pump.

    Stock toyota 22R pistons, yes I bored a perfectly fine 20R block... Pistons notched to allow the valve lift. Pistons and rods meticulously weight balanced. Rod sides were grinded/mirror-like polished to remove imperfections.

    Crankshaft & flywheel where machine shop "pinned" together (three pins in between flywheel bolts). Then balanced. Without those pins, bolts would come loose because of the high RPMs.

    W50 transmission. I went through 4-5 of them. Shifting @ 8K RPMs without lifting was terrible on them. They are not as "bulletproof" as they claim.

    other miscellaneous: Electric fan (so the factory one won't detach and kill someone). Fuel regulator, brass clutch disk (avoid the 2K pound Centerforce Plate, it will kill your thrust bearings if it's a street car). And a 4.37 third member out of a Toyota Crown with welded satellites . I think I snapper about 5 axles. The '75 Celica ones are spaghetti thin..

    That's it my friend. I didn't have much money on it, but a plethora of hours in the shop I used to work. When I missed a shift, that tach would easily touch 8.5-9K RPMs. Never an engine failure (I used top Mobil 1 oil). Tranny and axles were another story.

    Enjoy your 2XR my friend.

    A testament to 20R heads being the best flow. I love the built not bought engine build. I not only liked this , I took screenshots for notes.
