    81 Toyota Pickup “Chicken Truck”
    Alright guys this is my little secret project I’ve been working on for a little bit. So one day I decided that since i own a bunch of toyota’s Why not do me a 2jz swap on something. I didn’t really have anything that i wanted to swap it in so i ended up finding a old toyota that was used around a Chicken house for years hauling off dead chickens and what not. And i thought whats better to do a 2jz swap in than an old beater wore out Pickup?! So that’s where it all started. I haven’t made it to far with much of the project yet because me and my wife just had our first child so i thought what better time to start a thread. So far I’ve got the truck back running with the 22r just so i can pull it in and out of the shop until i decide to pull the motor. Runs so good what a shame lol. I bought a JDM 2jzge vvti from a 98 Aristo and ordered my turbo manifold along with my used holset hx35 turbo. A JDM 2jzgte vvti ecu. I’m completely unprepared with the pics I’ll take more tomorrow. But check it out so far. If you have any pointers I’d like to hear from you! I plan on doing the R154 tranny swap as well as the cxracing motor/tranny mounts. It’s going to cost about $4000 so far that I’ve added up. (Edit) it won’t let me add the pics I guess the file size is too big. I️ did add them to the main thread

    Cool find, we don't have shortys in Australia I had to shorten mine I just rubed the paint back with a scotch bright and cut and polished it. Big job to get a 2j to fit, good luck with that.
