Yeah the engine is secured. Braced it some more (dont have ppl in garage where they dont belong).Took off work today to clean and really check it out as best as I can. Dyed floor carpet black, will do third coating when sunny. Now G wont start, thinking its plugs (never been changed).
Read another build of guy up in BC using a T56 trans w/adapter (6sp.) for his SC400. Since w58s are so hard to find and expensive, what do you think of the T56s??? Probably swing by tomorrow later to pick up O2 sensors (and other parts probably) before you junk the SC. Cant get over the beasts you have in your yard. If some of these forum members could see them in person, they'd need their jaws realigned from it dropping....for real!

I suggest you start a build thread for you car. . Post pictures ... document your progress and a lot of people here am sure will be willing to help . It will be a long road but take your time and enjoy .. its a learning process for a lot of us .
I will be honest I have no idea of the T56s..maybe some who knows will chime in. All my manual cars have V160. Bottom line, whatever you are going into..compute all your costs for the conversion. If at the end of the day you are not going far from a V160 then for me it is a no brainer go V160. And of course , you need to take into consideration your END power goal so you don't end up buying and then replacing..

started taking parts one at a time out of the engine and clean / paint them
I said no bling bling on this project but I guess I lied.. lmaol...some parts are already polished / chromed so I might as well eventually polish them good

Took out the brake booster and fuel tank from one of the parts car. I will paint the brake booster same as body color for the current project. I would also try to see if I can modify the fuel tank so the Weldon pump can pull fuel from the bottom instead from the top just like the way I have it now on Red Mamba 1.
This is my current Weldon setup on Red Mamba 1 .. pulling fuel from the top hat. I would see if I can do it another way .. from the bottom just like one of my MKIVs

I also need to catch up what I missed on this build

That coolant elbow will be modified. It wouldn't work the way it is right now cause it touches the compressor housing. I couldn't bolt down the turbo into the manifold. I just put together all the external parts / accessories needed by that engine so they are not all over the place.
I always wanted an aftermarket twin 2jzgte setup. Hopefully this will make it a reality since I didn't spend that much on this built engine... $2000 but have sold the HKS cam gears for $200 so .. my cost on the engine with that intake / injectors and another stock intake is now only at $1800.

. Have not worked on this SC for a while. Almost sold one of my MKIV and this SC the other week and bought a GTR but I find it hard to let go of the MKIV at the moment.

I thought of selling the huge aftermarket intake manifold and 100mm TB / 1000cc injector setup since I didn't want to use a manifold without an IACV. They have welded it shut so I made an ad for it.
But decided to work and open up the IACV port today and maybe just use it. All I get are low ballers for the setup. After all it already has the individual bungs for the DIRECT PORT NITROUS setup I wanted.
