I am not expecting any issues with the front drive shaft. I take measurements for length on both and take them to Carolina drive line. I have them make the rear to length and replace ujoints. On the fronts I give them a length and have them make me up a 2" diameter front drive shaft and keep the original yokes. The 2" shaft is also a thicker gauge to make up for the lack of diameter. Have not had a clearance issue yet on many swaps.

Gauges are installed into the gauge pod, a couple more things to hook up and they are ready to install

Laying out all the pieces going under the hood. Engine relay/fuse block, Bussman relay/fuse block, trans controller, fan controller, windshield washer bottle. It will be full for sure

Yes, all the typical indicators in the lower areas will be hooked up and working. Those are the only photos I have.
 
Thank you :)
 
Got all the fuel lines done. Bent up all the trans cooler lines and installed. Trans to cooler in radiator to aux cooler.

That's some swap porn! I had to close the door to look at those photos. Hopefully one day I'll find a bag of money, then I'll give you a call. You've clearly got this swap sorted. Well done, sir.
 
Thank you sir, you are too kind.
 
Did you push your engine forward?
I can not really answer that question. I mounted the engine where I generally do in swaps, with the passenger side head about an inch from the fire wall. This truck has a 60 series transfer case in it.

That aside, I do not let after market manufacturers designs dictate where I position the drive train. It is much easier to deal with shifter positions ect. than it is to try to put a drive train where an OEM shifter position dictates.
 
It's looking amazing! Will you be using the Toyota airbox? If so, what path will the intake tube take around the AC compressor?

Gauges look awesome - can't tell the manufacturer though - I'm assuming you can set the ohms on the fuel gauge to calibrate and match the toyota sender?
 
Juts reviewed your site - it notes Hut Gauges.

Electrical work on older vehicles always presents obstacles. I wire everything I do separate from the OEM system as a stand alone electrical system. This panel fits up under the dash to the left of the steering column. IGN and dash light power are created by the two relays. They use BATT power and are fired by tapping into the OEM IGN circuit and dash lights. SO only mili amps are taken from the OEM circuits rather than Amps for all the add ons.

Where do you source the components of this panel?

They are Speed Hut gauges. You can set the ohms but none of the 6 pre sets match up Toyota sender. I replace the sender with a Tanks Inc. sender with a GM ohm range that the gauge supports.
