Gossamer- '87 FJ60 aka "The Red Monster"

[maat]

When I get the next 60 it will be a resto-mod as all of my builds are. I hope to have a very special power-train in it (if my electrical engineer/designer can create the harness for what I want to do)

spill the beans..

3UR-FE with Eaton supercharger (23k miles on it). 500 HP and 550Ft # torque. It is sitting in my designers shop back East and he is working on the nav, lock out bypass and complete desmog/EPA removal harness.. He and a few other collegues did this on a 2014 Hemi that is now in a few HEEPS and working great.

I've got a lot tied up in this project currently! OUCH! Then onto the adapter kits -this has been sourced, just waiting to see where the harness ends up. Then onto the frame mounts...

Do they have a class for a 60 powered this way at Bonneville? You'd win!

Well I got a screaming deal on the motor and trans from the local wrecking yard. I basically got the SC for free and a little more.... Even if this takes a couple years to do, I'm all for it. I planned on a $40-50K R&D on this... and I'm a little over the half way mark now.... If I can just eliminate one chevy that is being dropped into a 40, 55 or 60 I will be happy, even if that IS ONLY ON MY OWN RIG!

c'mon J don't be hatin' on us poor slobs that don't have your skills (me!). Vortec was the the most "economical" solution for an engine upgrade I had.

Currently it has the Tundra 6spd auto and case behind it. I am looking to have a 4-5 speed and or auto Yota adapter made to keep a full Yota assy and run a splitcase. But, we have also talked about a 6spd NV5500. Still a ways out on that. All depends on the harness now.

K, not hating one bit and I'm not a purist by any means. Just more Yota options brother!
