Sounds good and keep us updated

 

Sounds good...I bought an supra IRS as well a few weeks ago off a buddy & cant wait to install it!

 

Ya same here I need to start workin on it again

 

Yep Same here

 

Well I finally got the balls to cut out my inner fenders. It actually was fairly simple and I'm done for today still need to move a few things an connect the battery but I'm happy with the way it turned out. Next is to fix exhaust so it doesn't hang so low an modify my trany member onto pics



after I cut them out






I'll get better pics tomoro when I finish

 

Haven't worked on my truck in awhile since above post but it started over heating in Feb an I parked it. Gonna get a radiator an water pump an thermostat an see if tht helps. But I started working on making it lay out finally built a trans crossmember instead of buying one tht id modify anyway.

 

Started to z and 3" body drop my truck and pulled the motor for a swap here's some pics

 

Havent updated this in awhile was gonna keep the rest of the build low key but decided to post it on here anyway.
Did a 2.75" body drop shaved the corners an started the motor swap. Gotta finish the back wall today then pull the engine an hammer the firewall in a few spots.

Adapter plate on motor

With yota bell housing and starter

Layed out

 

Test fit of the motor



She sticks out a few inches

 

aka cowl hood

 

Itd have to be a reverse cause the back sits just under the fenders the front is where it sticks out. Ill probably just cut around the motor nicely then figure it out. Was kinda thinking chevy hd style

 

Slowly been getting things done. My main focus on the body drop was to keep the heat/defroster. I looked everywhere to see what others did but no luck so I contacted KBS fab and he helped me alot. So I had to relocate the heater resistor for the blower motor and cut the excess off the blower housing to fit my tub. Got it done tonight and it fits in the stock location in stock mounts
heres where I relocated it


And mounted using factory mounts

 

Got my gaskets and fuel hose for the injectors on Monday. Gonna drop the oil pan and notch it for the steering damper today. And pickup my flywheel from being redrilled and mount the new damper

 

Relocated the clutch. Now I gotta make the assembly fit the tub. Damn truck is fighting me the whole way

 

Got the motor almost ready to fire up. Just have to mount the oil cooler somewhere and get some belts

 

Motor is finally in. Brother built me a 4" stainless hood stack getting that finished soon. And got my new oil pressure sender in for my digital gauge

 

Looking good,keep on grinding,cutting & welding!!

 

Thanks man. Trying to do a little everyday

 

Hood stack is finished just need to cut it down to where I want it. And finished remote mounting the clutch reservoir.

 

Pulled her out today for some sun
