Got a G-52 trans and a forward shift t-case out of my 84 toy parts truck

found a top-shift t-case for $95 at All Truck junkyard

and a w-59 bellhousing w/ clutch fork and slave from a 99 tacoma out of a yard in Bakersfield Ca $80 shipped

now the 99 Toyota 3rz-fe 2.7L 4cyl will bolt right up to all my mini truck stuff sweet!

 

[suisuki]

Ok the motor in the Tacomas/4Runners hangs down way low and right in the way of the front axle so I swaped the oil pan, pick up tube, and dip stick for the one for the 2wd T-100.
now I have a rear sump oil pan and lots of room for front axle uptravel
also took my junkyard flywheel to the machine shop and had it turned, replaced the rear main oil seal, and installed the clutch.

 

[suisuki]

here's the motor in the engine bay for the first time

looks like I'll be able to retain the stock air compressor for and on board
system sweet

 

[suisuki]

Noticed that the master cylinder to engine clearence is tight so before I make any mounts I swaped out the stock master (7/8" bore) for the 95 subaru legacy master cylinder (1 1/16" bore) . With a mod to the plunger this master cylinder bolts right up, even the lines.

I started tearing down the foward shift t-case for the doubler adapter today but didn't get very far hope I can get that done tomorrow.

16 Chromoly teflon lined Rod ends, misalignment spacers, jam nuts, and weld in bungs showed up today.

 

[suisuki]

oh yeah I got the outer frame fishplates done today used some 4" 3/16 and some 2" 3/16 flat bar

I'd like to tie the motor mounts into the inner frame fishplates but since I'm not sure where they'll be I'm holding off making them for now.

 

[Herzog]

This is a cool project, I've been following it. Keep at it!

 

[Devel]

Thats pretty sweet for a Toyuki

 

[Maverick]

Wow, cool project.

 

[suisuki]

Thanks guys

As always I appriciate any input/constructive criticism you can provide I know you guys have been down this road before and I have not sooooooo

Well I don't feel like I got much done yesterday (busy with the kids, work, ect) but, I did get my crawl box built and tore my rear t-case down, pulled the shift forks and removed the interlock pin and resealed. So now the rear case is all ready for the twin stick.

Yeah It's gonna have four shifters!

sealed and assembled the tranny train so its ready to go in next.

 

[suisuki]

Ok got the trans tunnel cut out to and ready to accept, bolted the motor/trans up and slid her in. Moved things around for a while and finnaly got the motor/trans positioned where I want them so now I'm ready for mounts. Bought some bushings today so that's next.

Looks like the dual floor boot I got from the donar is goning to tie into the the new tunnel nice.

Now that I know where the motor is going to be I made the inner frame fishplates but did not have time to put them in, the new mounts will tie in to these.

Look what showed up today from summit, fuel pump, fuel fittings, and a couple of line locks. No fuel cell though it was back-ordered.
