Hey Guys,
New to the forum. I have been posting to TundraTalk for some time about my TRD Supercharged Lexus SC430 I have been building. Now that most of the crazy R&D has been completed on that project I have decided to start on what I believe to be the ultimate FJ40 powered by a TRD Supercharged 5.7 3URFE. I think the major hurdles in the past on using this motor is the engine management as well as the lack of a manual transmission being available from Toyota for such a swap. Both of those items I have pretty much overcome. I have several 3URFE's and an extra TRD Supercharged so it seems like the right thing to do. Currently my brother's recently acquired 1980 FJ40 may be the recipient of such a powertrain. However, this may change. We will see! Here are a few pics as we get started!
Thanks

Here are a couple pics of the clutch/flywheel and RWD trans for the Lexus. Need to figure out what trans and transfer case we are going to use in the FJ.
