I picked this little gem up FOR FREE while in the middle of this swap. It has a NEW motor (2500miles) and rebuilt tranny
Marlin's seals greased up and ready to be driven in with my redneck PVC seal driver lol
Birfs locked and loaded..
A reminder of why I am doing the swap :hillbill:
My goodies loaded up in my new "cough" VW van on the way to my buddies house. He is an x toyota mechanic who is going to make sure I get the knuckles dialed in. People around here consider him "the guru of Toyotas." Note the fire extinguisher close buy and the purple shag carpet, oh, and the WABFAB sticker :banger:
aaaaaaaand on the way to the guru the van decided to quit lol Yes, that is a tow truck. I tore the thing apart from front to back. Turned out it was a corroded wire to the distributer underneath the motor. :bang:
more fun today.
Knuckle rebuild, packing bearings and races..
New knuckle studs wrapped with teflon (just in case
)
Welded on the leaf bracket..
Annnnnnnnnnd.... the vultures started to circle over my VW VAN. Which is now running....
The middle of the pic is the damn wire that was corroded and left me stranded :bang: Holy crap what an ugly motor..
