Well today me and dad argued a bit 
and i decided to let out steam so I wrestled the transmission into its place with out tools I crawled under put the trans on my chest aligned it and popped it in Things got personal 
between me and that thing.. but once it was in sun went down and i called it a day
Tomorrow I have to figure out what im gonna do with the drive shaft
oh oh oh! and i had to cut a 5 inch hole in the floor to let the shifter through so i neeed to lengthen the shifter rearwards a few inches nothing extreme
Hopefully some pics tomorrow too
And thanks Steve! I actually wanna do Aerospace or Mechanical Engineering.. I worked on Small Gas Turbines This whole summer and Im studying at an Aviation School along with Highschool so by the time I graduate Ill be certified to work on anything that flys.. F1 cars sound fun tho

Mad props to you for only being in High School and being able to do this. Also that Turbo might give you problems in the long run. Just cause theyre built crappy. Hey you might get some luck though; i know i did for about 6 months

Carlos,
You can also post your threads on www.lextreme.com. This Lextreme forum is only for the V8 Toyota and espcially for the 1UZFE family. You'll turn on the old/young motor heads on there for sure.

and Today we finished installing the intake, valve covers, a new set of NGK iridium plugs.. and Made a cover plate to fit snug around the shifter and cover the big hole I cut.. everything is coming out GREAT!.. the look of the engine gave me some more motivation, its a red and white scheme.. sorry now pics yet but soon maybe in a couple days once I have the down pipe installed.. as far as the drive shaft goes i gotta wait atleast till monday so i can use the lathe at school.. well guys dont drink and drive!
and Happy New Years!

Ok so weve been trying to start this damn thing for about 3 weekends now and I cant get any spark from the coils the coils are good because it came off of my 1uz 4runner, the top coil gets a constant 12v power to one cable and i just dont know what to do, should i try replacing the igniters???? if this problem goes on I might just sell the whole project with all the aftermarket parts aswell..
