Just checkin in to the MC board

[SFD4x4]

Hello, people.  I am just checking in to the MC board.  Going to be posting my build on here.  What I have so far is a 83 shortbed with chromo axels, 4.88s, detroit in the rear, ARB up front with longfields, 35 MTR's, Dual transfer case, oh and a dead overused 22r that I just pulled out of it.  I am going to be posting my 3rz swap on here.  Would be more than happy to get all of your opinions and advice.

I will post some pictures as soon as I can.

Welcome to the board

Look forward to seeing your buildup, swap and what youve done to your 83 so far.

Thanks for the welcome.  I wheeled it all summer and loved how it performs.  I had some serious smoke blowing out of my tailpipe my last couple of trips up and I figured that since I needed to rebuild the motor anyway I might as well put in something with a little more power.

The FF olympics sound awesome!  Should hopefully have my truck running by then.

[83yota5960]

flopp that motor 22r will out power that plus cheaper easier swap just my

I'm in the process of doing it right now.  I don't think the 22r is going to out power it especially since I had to shift down to 2nd coming out of Georgetown, besides I want fuel injection.

[DD85runner]

do you have a build thread for the engine swap?

[SFD4x4]

Not yet but I am going to soon.  I just got my engine back from the machine shop today, I am rebuilding it.  Should have it put back together soon and then I am going to start test fitting it and making some engine mounts.

Ah nice, I was like I'm pretty sure the 3rz is going to be just a little better.
