Wait a minute. Was that front support cut out for intercooler clearance? Are you going to reinforce the front?

 

ah i was gonna do this swap if i kept the car. nice job.

 

well ive been slack on updates the car is running great i took it to the track last month and melted two pistons on cylinder 5&7 which is kinda common for ls engines so i got another motor and got it back going here is a little video of the car idleing after installing the second engine

cool swap, I love the 5.3 motors. I dropped one in my old IS, but yanked it back out and stuck another 2JZ in

 

That's an awesome build! The car looks beautiful too. I hope it works out for you. Please keep us informed and post those pics!

 

SICKKKK good luck on the build man

 

AWESOME! love to see it on a track!

 

WHOA! i love it that people still go all out with engine swaps in our chassis! go get em sir.

 

well i just found out we are getting orders to andrews afb so my question is are there any performance shops around the waldorf area that anyone knows of that is where we are planning to get a house

 

i would post in the NELOC forum...

 

Sweet build, glad to see someone thinking outside the Toyota box. Turbos love autos, it's hard to stay in boost as you left off to shift. The TH350 is just as stout as a TH400 if built right, however the Power Glide 2-Speed seems to be the quickest at the track. I'm curious to what your using for engine management, stock ECU or standalone? I see your running water/meth injection, but just curious to see if you had any pictures of it.

I also see your from ND. Ever come to Minneapolis? Too bad you didn't make it to the Hot Rod Power Tour, this thing would've been a hit. I know there's a few guys running turbo'd 5.3s in the 11's from the Grand Forks areas.

 

A 200R4 would be a great choice also, they have a very low first gear, they're cheap, can be built easily and has OD.

 

Haha selling it already? The thing must run like a beast... PD, I think you called this one...

Wow....that looks like a beast and it sounds awesome from the youtube clips you posted.

 

Sweet build. Have any updates? Any track times? What are the dimensions of the front sump of the oil pan you made? Mainly from the from of the motor back?
