No, St. Louis, MO. if you know where a 30k mile 1uz doner car is and don't want it let me know. I want to do another swap with an 88 4Runner I have next.

maybe it's just me, but you can't even hear it at the tip of the exhaust. Which to me, isn't a bad thing.

It has a nice low rumble at idle but its a Flowmaster so it gets kind of loud under hard acceleration. It also has a small exhause leak at one of the flanges because I think I warped it when I welded it. I need to re-surface the flange with a belt sander.

how much did it run you to get it wired??

I'd rather not say exactly because the guy who did it may have other similar wiring jobs in the future but it was in the $500 range. Its on par with what phoenix tuning charges for a 1uz swap harness only my local guy did a whole lot more than what phoenix tuning could have done because he had my truck. It ended up being a little more work that what he intended but both he and I are extremely happy with the results.

Your post has got me looking at sc400's. I think I'm going to get one for a dd... I think the conversion you did is awesome but I would rather put that in a 2wd or an old celica. My next engine conversion is going to be a 1.9 tdi.

Got an axle from a 1999 4Runner. Its 3" wider than my 89 axle and is closer to the width of my FJ80 front axle.

A plasma cutter makes short work of the brackets.

What is the difference in width front to rear with this new rear axle?

The standard 79-85 solid front axle is 55". The standard 86-95 IFS rear axle is 58". The 96-03(maybe newer) is 61". The FJ80 landcruiser is 63.5"

Yeah, first is to Total Chaos the old lady's third gen extra cab. After that it is Toyota 4.7L V8 powered 85 Supra. After that.... trying not to get too ahead of myself

Ah I only have one project $I\'m Down$

Toymin8r · « **Reply #84 on:** Jul 04, 2010, 07:34:30 PM »

I want to do a big blocked Chevy truck using a set of unimog axles I got and the biggest boggers I can afford. All I need is a rust free body for that. I got the whole drivetrain already. Then I got a 1979 Bandit edition Trans am I want to restore. Then a 1970 Chevelle SS396 that I've had for over 20 years. I' have severalmore if I had the room to store all of it.

Yea, I'm in the same boat. I'm working on retubing the front of my rock crawler. I have a 92 toy that is a dd that needs paint and a new clutch and I have a 1 ton k5 blazer I'm building. Lot of work to do and not enough time or money.
