They all went to this setup around 2005. Before that it was just a basic canister.

Not as easy with this swap as it has a leak detection pump built onto the canister.

Been slow going, messed up my back and been taking it easy the past few weeks. Another hose from the sequoia worked good, just needed to cut and twist it. Need to order a new water valve before it breaks. Mounted the power steering reservoir...

It was a whole summer of cleaning every single piece of the interior but Im used to it. Had to deal with mouse problems frequently when I worked at a dealership. I emailed the RMV and said it was originally bought without a title for parts...

Just came across this build. Found it funny to be a similar situation for my build. Looks like we are both in MA, tore the interior out due to mice, rebuilt HVAC box, similar rusty body spots and V8 swaps, except Im using a Toyota engine.

Sent the ECU out to disable air injection. Had the coolant hoses from the Sequoia. Cut down one end and was a perfect fit for the RH connection.

Found a spare sunroof bracket from my 4runner and happened to be just about the right size to block off the throttle cable hole in the firewall. Used some butyl tape between the bracket and firewall to seal it up.

Early style transfer case shifter bolts up to the A750 transmission and is in the correct location so the floor doesn't have to be modified. Needed to space the steering box out a little for steering shaft clearance at the headers. Delta...

Found a firewall grommet from an early 90s Camry. Fits the firewall hole and around the harness pretty good. Was a little tight getting all the connectors through it. The brackets from the 1fz ECU bolt on to the 2uz ECU and locate it with...

It’s built into the silicone coupler at the airbox.

Finally got some parts in. Hoping this will work for the intake. Vibrant 2828 3.5in 120 degree tube HPS reducer 3.38" - 3.5" Vortex 3.5” MAF adapter

This is a cool recovery and build. Good on ya for building that beauty.

Transfer case shifter from a 91-92?

In the middle of the swap now. Started its own thread. https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/97-f2uzj80.1362740/#post-15965001

Pretty much where its at now. Wiring has been mapped out and started. Bunch of parts on order. Hoping to remember to take more pictures and document everything as I go along so when I look back on it in a few years Ill have the info.

3FE power steering line mates up to the power steering pump, although it does eliminate the idle up valve. Cut the brackets off the air box lid to fit the intake tube. Removed the ABS pump and hopefully made enough room for the charcoal...

Posted my drivetrain for sale figuring it may take a while to sell while I worked on getting the Sequoia stripped. Ended up with a buyer right way. January in New England isnt the best time to be stipping 2 vehicles but I got it done before heavy...

Bought 5 35" Ironmans off Walmart closeout for $800 and swapped the OEM wheels back on and enjoyed it for the summer. The ultimate plan for this 80 was to 2UZ swap it down the road. Ended up finding a 06 Sequoia locally for $1200. That made...

Pulled the front axle to swap in the e-locker and rebuild. Still had the other half of a pipe cap from my Tacoma diff armor, glad I hung onto it all those years. Repurposed the front J-springs from my Tacoma since I went to coilovers. Icon...

First order of business was evicting all the mice and cleaning up thier mess. I ended up somewhere around 20. Before getting too far I wanted to make sure it ran. Drained the tank and replaced the fuel pump. Used vinegar to clean the inside of...

Starting a build thread for my 97 that I'm in the middle of a 2UZ swap. Seeing all the old build threads from the good Pirate4x4 days and all the good info I've found on this site got me wanting to do the same for this build. Good way to keep all...
