i finally thought I would re-do one here since it was very scattered.
Well..... Let the games begin!
I just purchased a 1988 toyota pickup, 2wd, 170,xxx miles and a huge ugly camper. the truck i bought it from has been in the same family since it was bought off the lot ..
The truck came with a engine with less than 1,000 miles on it, right before i sold the motor ( which was last thursday ) i tried to roast the tires and all it did was bog down. just thought to myself, "time to make a change to that".
So that project begins. i sold the motor and the next day ordered the 2jz-gtte toyota supra engine. they come complete with turbos, intake, exhaust, belts, pumps, and un-cut wiring harness with ECU. the engine total shipped .. these engines put out 300hp @ 315ftlbs of torque. the old 22r only had 120hp and 140ftllbs if im not mistaken. it will be very fun.
here are some engine bay shots before motor was pulled.

Here is the truck with no engine in it. got the motor last monday and put on timing and acc. belt, Denso spark plugs, re-sealed the water pump ( jdm couldnt find one in the US) also installed a new auto tensioner and front oil seal.

heres the engine bay empty and waiting for the 2jz. just geting it all prepped, moving lines and cables out of the way that might get hit. Look at those mirrors HAHA, total sleeper.

Had to take off the grill, bumper, and the A/C (for now). also chop the bar to just get the engine in there. gonna make a bracket so i can have that piece still in use and be removable so the motor can be pulled out easy. that piece being moved made all the difference.

(Without my friend George this wouldn't have been possible.) George grinding some of the engine mount making for a clean area to weld.

2jz in and mounted

Side shot. that U shape in the turbo inlet stuck out a lot making it time consuming. but it worked out

The hood clears. no rubbing anywhere!
