Ladies and Gents, i introduce you the new 2015-2016 powerplant for the truck!

Looking at a 2JZ - GTE with a A341E Auto Trans with about 60k miles on the entire setup that was pulled out of a Toyota Soarer

NOW... this build is going to be slow, a learning curve and much more. I'm not looking to start doing the swap UNTIL i can get ahold of a garage to do it in. I refuse to do this on the side of my house ESPECIALLY with winter coming quickly through Pennsylvania.

I have to do alot of brainstorming since this will be a custom build in itself and i will have to use as much of my connectionsfirneds as i can since i don't have any of the machines needed to pull this build off "correctly". The engine is going to sit in my basement and covered until i can find a garage to rent out and start the build.

Looks pretty damn clean=)

I think the guy who bought my m3 said he has a guy who can make up just about any trans adapter for those motors.

Looking forward to see the swap done.

me likey damn, I kinda want a stance truck aswell now... *wallet sobbing in background*

[Belvader]

Its killer dude, as much as I used to be against minitrucks on bags you set the standard of clean. I would buy bags for my truck if I knew it would turnout half as clean as yours, complete respect brotha

Woahh it's been awhile since i updated this! Welp, as some of you may know, i'm from the good ol' state of Pennsylvania where we get our wonderful 4 season! Not... so the trucks status is what is pictured below. Currently i am in the process of trying to find storage or possibly even a garage to work on it during the winter. If i can't get anything well it looks like i'll be a bored dude for a few months. Here are a few things to look forward to come spring/summer time.

- Convert the truck over to Hard/Copper Lines
- Seamless Air Tank
- Fuel Cell
- New Wheels (Already Have)
- New Seat's w/ Harnesses
- Put the Interior back together
- Engine Bay Cleanup/Delete
- Weld in 3rd Brake Light
- Weld shut "Water Traps" on roof
- Shave Antenna
- Blah Blah Blah....

Now for the Engine, i backed out of getting the 2JZ... I know, I know, bad decision BUT since the truck run's healthy as is with the little 2.2 thats in it, i rather focus on the rest of the things that need to be done to the truck, like bodywork/paint before i put a new powerplant in it. Im still on the edge over a few powerplants to put into the truck. I figure it will be the last thing to do UNLESS i lose my transmission/engine at some point.

I'm really looking forward to just driving it, and enjoying it as come spring time for shows.
