Sorry to hear about the engine. I’d keep it original. When you get to Oki, you’d probably have a much easier time sourcing parts and not risk the Japanese bureaucracy tying you up. Or say **** it and put an LT1 in it. Yolo
Yeah getting parts in Japan was a another reason why I sold my Challenger.

Rebuild + Turbo. Bootleg LS swapping is for Floridians who wear cut off jorts and drive around with sideways t-case knobs.
Im too invested in the in the SC.

I don't know the specifics of what that means to you, but you could sell it even used very fast for probably close to what you paid for it.
True. I was a turbo purchaser (mentioned on the first page). During the wait for the turbo, I bought the SC and sold my place in line for the turbo. Ive been in conversation with a guy thats going to re-make an intercooler for me (and maybe a few more). I like the SC and not going to back out on him when he's helping me. So ill rebuild break and rebuild again lol.

so... just going to throw this out there. Don't import the 80 to Japan, and just buy one of these and make us all jealous.
Last time I was back there, they had a 70 series at a dealership near my wife's parents house. Mid next year I should be heading back there to visit. See what the market is looking like.
Since this will be a build, let me go through what I have and plans.

Do you already have the upgraded Whiteline rear sway bar?
Yes. Well what do you mean by updated?
As I were. . Yes I do. Can't read at times. I have Front and rear Whiteline sway bars.

I just ordered the Whiteline upgraded sway bar they other day. I need the @LandCruiserPhil heavy duty drop brackets as well. I've got to get through the engine rebuild first.
We just grinded a radius in the arms to work in the meantime of running them without Phil's brackets. But the brackets are on the list.
Hey brother, any updates?
