Hate I didn't make it to HAMOM to see it crank. Wife wanted me to stay close incase she gets called in. Good Luck, Looking forward to the video.

I thought this was a 1FZ R&A, not a diesel swap!

Wish I could be there to help.

The beagle has landed. Big thank you to Johnny and Brian for swinging by for as long as they could.... and a bit longer till she was bolted to trans.

Ok actually in a couple hours ago. Working down list of anscillaries and finding more projects along the way.

Stevezero and rice working on the a/c compressor clutch swap. Im on the harness connections from stem leading from injector rail down between intake runners, james is documenting for the montage

Motor mounts, final electrical connections, starter up next.

Wow, looking good.....Rice must be a bit sleep deprived, I am a bit surprised that you guys are putting that beautiful engine in that filthy engine compartment....guessing time is of the essence as mentioned before to free up space in garage!

Sometimes you just have to draw a line in the "While you're in there" list

Getting there guys

I like how you guys shoved the biggest dude-- Johhny -- Into the engine bay.

Awesome.

Isn't that what happens with that hair removal stuff you posted about?

The ultimate issue was getting rid of knock and the later boost. This 80 is not worth nor will it become a resto project.

Rice: You have a box leaving on Monday that will assist with this engine.

Fun time today at Rice's place. Jason's face is priceless with the food delivery. I was hoping to hear it fire before I left, but it's all good.

 

[jfz80]

Many thanks for the help guys..... moment of truth almost upon us.

One thing is for sure after looking at these pics....I don't know $httttt compared to everyone here when it comes to vehicles.

Engine has been lit. A sound that sounds a bit like timing chain slap is present but otherwise the top and bottom end sound good. Not ready to diagnose the timing chain now. Bummer.


Thanks to ALL who put a hand into making this happen. Johnny, Brian, Steve, Steve, James .... awesome.

Biggest hand to Jason .... number of wrenching hours clocked ... 24 in 2 days. Just wow. Thanks man!
