Made it home. A little pre-project photo shoot

Crazy how nice that is. Even crazier doing an engine swap! Hopefully something cool like a 12ht turbo, or 2uz maybe? the suspense is killing me.

I don’t care for diesels in the older ones. V8’s either.

Man that truck is nice...love it!!!

Amazing vehicle.. Praying for a Mighty 2F refresh.... V8 would be pure madness in this one...

It will have some 2F features.

That is a good looking 45. There is not a lot of room for improvement on that build.

A 2uz would have been pretty cool! I still look forward to seeing what the new I6 looks like.

 

[DangerNoodle]

Sounds like a 1FZFE or 3FE to me.

I'm betting on a 3FE.

 

[Skeet]

Or something in the M family of engines

 

[Varty Yo]

Amazing little truck thats only going to become more amazing!!!!

Would look great alongside my 42

Or something in the M family of engines

M = Mosley?

 

[Skeet]

M = Mosley?

Always a strong choice.
But I was thinking of Toyota's inline 6 series of engines in the M family.

I guess I’m just not familiar with the inline 6 M series.

 

[Skeet]

You have much smarter people than I on the build.
Looking forward to watching.

An so that’s like a Supra engine or something? I don’t want to get that complicated.

Supra engine = BMW and does not belong in a Cruiser.

 

[Andrew S]

The new Supra has ties to BMW, but the older M series of engines is 100% Toyota....

No matter what engine Jomelo has chosen, I'm sure this will be a great build.

a cop motor 2F and 5 speed is all it needs
