Were you able to install them with the motor still in the chassis?

Man! You’re cruising right along! Very exciting and it sounds awesome!

You’ve got the right attitude and you’re blazing a trail for all us on the sidelines. Keep the great work up! I know I’m taking tons of notes and accumulating parts to do the same swap on my 80 with a hole in the block…

Man, you’re jamming great progress and making me want to move my timeline up!

This is great information, thank you for sharing!

I’ve got the remflex gasket on the shelf, it’ll definitely be going on, but I can’t bring myself to mounting it until I’ve removed a bunch of the defects.

Yes you do!

I bit the bullet and bought the much maligned JTO header for “the mistress” I’m at a point where it has to be at least somewhat mobile, and can’t continue waiting for the Marks/Downey unit in development… The JTO header is pretty bad quality overall and I’m bummed that a new part like it is...

You’re not wrong! I’ve already done rear disc brakes, do need to get a modern master and booster in still. Currently, I’m watching the Downey Header thread religiously hoping for an update to order a new header for the 40, then she’ll be back on the road. Now that I have a second project...

Great question, I haven’t even popped the hood yet to look, but, the previous owner said their mechanic (a reputable independent toyota mechanic) recommended a $9000 engine change after it was run on the highway with zero oil pressure… I’ll definitely be diagnosing that myself before I go all...

Joined the club on 2.16.24 as a birthday present to myself. I’ve known this truck since new, it’s a one family truck, bought new in San Antonio in 1996, and driven more than 367k miles on the original drivetrain. As a kid I remember seeing it for the first time in our church parking lot, window...

I’ve had my set for a couple years now wonderful product!

I am so seriously pumped to hear this news! Excited to place my order in the coming weeks!
