Went very, very smoothly, had the engine in the car and mounted in roughly an hour and a half. A big credit to becauseican and his bracket's which gave me no trouble at all, and fit perfectly. I highly reccomend them to anyone doing this swap in a pre-89 car.
No surprise the 2JZ throttle cable was too short, so I'll be using my 1JZ TC, which I should have done to begin with. One surprise I did come across was getting the auto trans. crossmember mounted, it took some dremeling, and a little persuasion, but I got it on.
I've got the ECU mounted and wiring attached, still need to wire in my E-manage and wire my 550's up with the 7m's resistor pack, and measure up my battery cables since I moved the battery out back. Need to mount my radiator, elec. fan, get some new tranny lines, a fuel fitting, and it's ready to start!!!!
Overall today went perfectly, even though rain tried to stop it, once my buddies and I got going, everything just kept going along.
I have pictures but the computer I use to upload pictures on to is currently completely overrun with spyware so I'll have to figure out another way to go about getting them posted. I have to say the 1J looks damn sexy in the car!!!
So that's what's new in my neck of the woods, I'll let everyone know when I get it started.
