I'm still battling the steering situation but I am making some progress on the throttle and the clutch. I needed a 3 inch jog in the clutch pedal so I cut my pedal in half and made a jog. It's a little overkill with the 3/4" aluminum plate but I had a small piece laying around and didn't want to pay a machine shop to make such a simple piece. I'll probably paint it up black but I am considering having it welded in addition to the bolts so I'll wait until make my decision on the weld before I paint it.
I also added a remote bleeder, AN adapter, and the hydraulic line to the clutch throw out bearing. Nothing crazy but I like the stainless braided cables so I though it was picture worthy.
Next was the throttle which I completely forgot about until about 2 weeks ago when I was under the dash and saw the electronic pedal. Since there was nothing wrong with the pedal I decided to keep it and attempt to convert it to a drive by cable pedal.
For those of you interested, here is what the inside of the drive by wire pedal looks like.
After a little cutting and grinding and a new lever arm, my new drive by cable pedal was complete. I am waiting on drilling the hole for the cable until I get it in the car and mark it.
This is not a great picture but the Lokar stainless braided throttle cable fits very nicely right next to the A/C lines.
Last thing I did was give the engine bay a bath in preparation for the engine to go in for hopefully the last time (for now) I don't think it will ever be this clean again.
Hopefully my next post will be that of an installed steering rack...

I haven't had to drill out any spot welds yet. The upper radiator support came off with the 4 bolts adjacent to the rubber hood supports and the lower support is still on the car however it can also be removed with a few bolts from under the car.

We should talk once I make it through this build. I love the 2jz and I've seen one swapped into a 2nd gen is but there were no build pics, just a finished product. It would be an awesome project but I have always been an import guy so I needed to see what all this American V8 hype is all about.
