ROTF lt1fire (Now a buy back and rebuild thread) (1 Viewer)

[lt1fire]

Reason I don't care about the motor in there is I found a rebuilt 3fe about 10 miles from my house. So I picked it up and i'm slowly cleaning and putting on all my spare parts to it.


After the install and break in period i'll put the turbo on . If I don't like it for some reason there is always my 4bt I could put in or an LS swap

So for now the plans are.

Get the title and have it shipped.
Install new motor and break it in.
Install turbo kit.
Do rear bumper.
Can't seem to find my skid plate so buy a new skid plate, most likely iron pig again unless there is something cheaper and as good around these days.
Refurb' my toyota OEM winch and install in place of the smittybuilt one I currently have on there.
Install the OEM toyota sleeping platform I picked up from @torfab a few months back.

Drive and enjoy. Will be my DD as I work from home now and i've I have to travel far for work they rent me a car anyway.


Longer run.
Decide if I want to stay yota gas inline six. If I do build up a 2f to install. If not figure out if I want to do the 4bt swap or get a OM606 or LS, etc....
Figure out better CR
Always wanted to do volvo portals at some point but they are hard to find now and if I go diesel then i'm not really going to want 5.99 gears.
That last one may just be a fantasy though lol.
Although if I do need more beef axles I do have a super duty one ton set with 3.73 gears HP D60 front and the rear 10.5 Sterling is locked.

They were for our 68 bronco that was going to be a crawler and then wifey wanted to restore it instead.
