SpicemanSteve Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 (edited) I will be swapping this: into this: I will document each step as I go along. The firewall has been notched 4" and the section has been boxed: The original shifter has also been relocated to suit the R154 The car is plauged with a little rust so progress will be slow. Before: After: Plans include: rear-mounted radiator 3" SS exhaust 8.8 rear 4 link T70 turbo 30 x 12 x 3 I/C mounted behind grill expansion tank modified oilpan custom catch can shaved bay bigger injectors (not decided which yet) aftermarket ecu (not decided which yet) fuel cell ans external F/P swirl pot All welding and fabrication will be done by me. My inspiration for this was this little bugger: Just a little update! Installed the motor to check clearances and to lock up the I/C Cut out the spare tire tub an surrounding sheet metal: Added 1"X2"X1/16" square tubing for reinforcements and radiator mount. Combined a generic catch can and expansion tank to make this unit: Edited February 21, 2014 by SpicemanSteve 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B.L.Z.BUB Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 (edited) Why a 7M and not a 2J? Surely it would be the same amount of work? Or just working with what you have? Should be a beast either way. You Yanks can do fun stuff to your cars, like this 1UZ-fe supercharged KE35. http://www.speedhunters.com/2012/07/barely_lega/ Over here is Aussie we put fluffy dice hanging from the rear view mirror and we are put in prison for life.

parrot Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 Fluffy dice could put an eye out if you go around a corner too rapidly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.L.Z.BUB Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 We're not allowed to go around corners now. We have to stop on turnstiles, rotate the car then keep going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
