That may be an option.

If it will help I have a 5m bellhousing including flywheel, low mileage clutch, clutch fork, slave cylinder etc so you can bolt a W series trans to your engine.

 

yea ill have to figure something out for a tranny, unless i can come across a r154 that i wouldnt mine paying for, i may have to go a different way, we will see though ill keep that in mind

** works, im painting that on my tailgate!

 

Cool project! Make sure you're well read on the 7M's...they can be tricky. Supramania.com has some good info if you have any questions on it. Good luck

 

Thanks

 

Back from the family trip, tore out the interior and dash of the supra
Wireing harness


A/c and air unit under dash


Dash and dash support

my co-captain on the project

 

So ive been measuring over and over... and over, and my measurements are usually right 7/10 times, so i measure about 20 times to make sure.

The plan is to cut out the firewall and the transmission/ drivetrain tunnel of the supra, same with the hilux, and swap it



This may or may not work, but ive seen crazier done. Ill cut the supra first and try to get it as close to a "perfect" fit before i cut up my hilux.. just a plan for now but i think it would be best since i will have to make the drive train tunnel bigger, and if i could get everything to bolt up where its going to be it would be easier then making all my own... although i think i could do it, it would be easier lol

 

Just went and brought my frame home now that i have the subframes i can get an idear of what needs to be done to make them fit









makes me happy lol

 

rear subframe pulled and getting moved into position! going to cut off the leaf springs n such, updates tomorrow

 

I lied, no update today, got called into work as i was attempting to pull off the leaf springs and rear axle

 

Im actually getting rid of a bunch of stuff now, i dont know if anyone is local but i got a rear axle, steering clumn with working ignition and key, upper and lower a arms for front, i have the 80 disc brakes for the front drum to disc swap the little heater motor guy under the dash, pretty good dash pad, guage cluster etc... pictures on on the first couple pages if anyone is interested lmk

 

Damn I want the breaks but shipping would be a bitch I bet..Whats needed for the swap over?

 

the ones i have are discs off a 80, just pop off the drums and put left on the right, and right on the left, comes with everything but calipers and the flexible brake lines

 

So what do you want for the rear axle?

 

cheap, like 25$ but no tires

**its the stock hilux rear axle, not the rear subframe from a supra, since you were wanting the front subframe

*** woo for enthusiast lol

 

Sold! I can afford them parts!

 

Got a little bit done today before work, got the rear axle and leaf springs off, i think at this point its ready to move to the shop so i can start fitting the frame to the sub frames, lmk what you think

 

Got the firewall and drive train tunnel out of the supra to retro fit into the hilux





sorry if the pictures are a little dark, was running out of day light

Update:

74 hilux frame = hacked up
88 Supra rear subframe = welded onto hacked up hilux frame

Got her on two legs now! Seeing this thing come together is really awesome i hope it turns out like i want it to, i have so many good ideas, just hoping to see all of them come together and work.

Here some pictures, my brother in law came up from Arizona for a little family visit, talked him into helping me out.... ok i didnt really have to talk him into it, he wanted to work on it as badly as i do lol

picture story go!

Did some work on the frame again, once i got the front subframe on my frame came out super un level, because the front subframe even at full slack is taller then the rear, so i cut the back off and blocked it about 4 inches or so to bring the frame up level, so im sitting about 5 inches off the ground from the bottom of my frame now.

Before


After


Im going to clean it up a lot better after i get everything position how i want it, everything is just tacked enough to hold it so i can get it out of the shop.
