Are you home yet? Let’s see more road trip pics!

Now you have work to do. Going to be awesome.

Definitely don’t rip it off like someone I know 🙃. It breaks the internal locking mechanism. @OffRoadScott is spot on…there is a small indent on the knob itself. I think you need to depress it using a scribe or pick.

Nice work!

Yes, I sure will.

I have Delta up front and in the rear. I don’t wheel hardcore and besides, I haven’t wheeled my cruiser since these parts were installed, but I am seeing powder coating chipping and rusting beneath it. I’d go with another source with better coating.

Lookin’ sharp.

Bought some goodies. I love shiny new Toyota parts.

Both look great. I prefer the cleaner look without. 202 LCs always sends tingles up the ol’ spine.

I went through a series of very similar questions, it’s almost uncanny. Here is mine after a new short block and top end rebuild and about 10k miles on the new engine. 1FZ-FE Cold start Hope it helps you, and I hope mine isn’t about to explode.

Looks like a dirty job, Steve. Stay upwind!

Amazing. I want this in my life right now. Hope you guys have a great time!

Pfft. Someone has too much money.:flipoff2: Where is the build thread?

Yeah, probably, but Toyota short blocks vary in price wildly from dealer and region. That’s why most of us order from the other side of the world. That’s also why I’ve bought my short blocks from somewhere in the SE Region…they usually have the lowest pricing IME.

I’d shop around a little more. I’ve bought a few short blocks and paid $2,800 for the first one ( massive sale) and $3300 for the second and third relatively recently. Maybe a year, by a loose estimate.
