Go for it then but I see your truck being down for a long time.....


If it was me I would fix the 22re or buy a brand new engine for 2k, swap that in. Then ask your mom to help you out with college.....

Have you ever pulled an engine before? Done any sort of repairs to your truck?

Oh and where did you get the 8" rearend from?

 

college is covered if I decide to go mom gets 75% off tuition for me working for the government and floride bright futures covers 75% and all I need is a 3.0 which I have. I think it would be a waste of money to drop 2k into a motor I want to scrap. The 22r is not a power monster and is extremley expensive to get it there but the 2jz stock will be the same as a built 22r and I will have room to go a lot higher if I wanted.

 

man i feel special , the way i've done swaps is pull the old motor, use a cherry picker to hold the new motor and tranny in place, then center it left to right between the rails and start fabbing the mounts. i usually make the plate that bolts to the new motor first and have them on the motor, then use heavy card stock (poster board) until i get the right shape then transfer it to steel. i think if you go to a shop to have it done you'll have to spend more than $400. my work charges $80 an hour for fab work plus materials so it adds up quickly. the swap will cost some dough and take some time, but you know you want the 2jz, so do it. i was a little worried on the first swap i did but once you get going you will figure all the little details out.

 

get going on it then!

I would contact phoneix tuning for the wiring though

 

all i have to say is that your next swap will be that much easier given the fact your doing this one,go for it and i think youll be stoked you did

 

if the eng will bolt to your tranny why get a drive shaft?

if you already have a uncut harness, why is wiring difficult?




sounds like all you need is a starter,eng mounts, new exhaust and some time.



i would start by pulling your eng (22re) and ALL of the eng wiring + ECU. get the wiring left in the truck to function to run all the accessorys. then piggy back the uncut harness (2jz) into the truck.

just plan on taking time to find and kill bugs. like for every hour you take to get it in, you'll spend as much time or more to get it to work.

 

engine does not bolt to my tranny, it has an auto on it. the motor is a lot longer then the 22r so i need a shorter shaft... but thanks alot bro by far the best words advice if gotton so far have come from you. Im going to order the mounts tommorrow and pull my motor in a week or 2.

 

no... you dont.



you need to research this a LOT more.


just because it had a auto tranny doesnt mean you need a new drive shaft.




for arguments sake:

have you taken measurements of the dimensions of the eng, and where the mounts are?

you sound like your going to try and move the eng back... where? theres no room backwards.

you dont have to use that auto...

your tranny would work fine...


research

research

research



and im spent

 

my tranny on my truck will fit that ???? the website that designed the mounts told me I need a driveshaft since the motor and trans are longer then a stock 22r.

 

i posted a link in either this thread or another relating to your 2jz for a build up thread for a celica.


go read that again, and hunt for more info on the net. ive never done this swap, plan to. everything i know is based off of what others HAVE done.

 

ok still no info on the mounts, im just going to order the motor mounts for 200 then fab some for the tranny if i can.

Does anyone know how to run fuel to a 2jz ? assuming aftermarket pump but what psi ? do i have a fuel return line already cuz im carb ???

Anyone know where i can find power steering pump mounting brackets ?

TINY TINY high output electric fans ?

information on wiring ? I need to know what wire goes to what and which to cut or cap off ? thanks !! im pulling my 22r tommorow with my new motor lift i bought for 50 bucks !

 

I read that front to back, no usefull info I could find... just all interesting stuff for celicas...
