Well first off I have been out of town for work about the past 5 months so most of what you see is pictures I have been sent of the parts stacking up back home and work done so far.

Goal with the car is a well balanced total package. All around function and form street car and one of the best SC's ever built!

Lot's of friends helping along the way especially with a lot of custom parts in the works. Custom mounts, headers, exhaust and lots of other stuff you might have to stay tuned for lol.

Built not bought

Engine is 408 stroked, LSX based, high compression, e85 build and might add dope later on for fun. While I will keep some of the plans low key untill it's done here is a little teaser I will update here and there.


Here is my old setup some might be familiar with:





Worked good for what it was. At least for short periods of time lol


Now on to the REAL build

Right after pulling the 1JZ out I just had to set the mockup motor in to see what it would look like and how it would fit. Keep in mind this is with no mounts in this pic. Big thanks to JTran for giving me some time and space to pull the old engine



Moving to the new home base



Notice the clutter in the engine bay. Can't roll like that



Chassis harness/brake line tuck and ABS/TRAC delete





Wilwood proportioning valve




Keeping the same fuel pump setup as before just cleaned it up. Battery box and battery will be replaced





Racepak dash going to read directly off the AEM




BC coilovers thanks to Autrey at DWS Parts



Plates to build the mounts off of






Beefy 6 speed and twin disc as well as subframe modifying started






Engine parts stacking up back home. Not pictured is stroker crank and rods, ARP rod bolts, Comp valve springs, retainers, shaft mounted rockers, Ferrea valves, top and bottom cometic gaskets, and ARP head studs














and the latest pics from SSA of the machine work and getting ready for paint

 

Drive shaft adapter on its way with fittings to convert power steering lines to AN



One piece aluminum shaft from a buddy



Ordering my crate engine accessory kit from KRC tomorrow(alt, waterpump, p/s pump, idler, brackets, etc)




Still to do - order wheels, subtle body mods, new paint, and some other goodies you won't be able to see till its done

 

I had no idea you were going that in depth, very nice. Kind of blew me out of the water there.

 

Lots of these builds popping up lately. Nice start I'll be watching.

 

im ussualy a fan of Toyota parts going in Toyota cars but these ls engines looks very cool i must admit.

This engine looks great and im still shocked at all the space leftover in the engine bay , especially considering its a 6 litre.

1.5 times bigger then the 1uz but yet has much more available space.

 

Best wishes on your build!

 

hella dope

 

This is going to be one badass SC. Good luck!

 

Thanks everyone. Means a lot coming from some of you OG's. Definitely a lot more transformation going to be happening with the car as soon as I get back to town

 

Hmm lots of the v8 parts look oddly familiar think I knew a guy doin a 6.0 240 buold with parts like them...... And so does the 1jz stuff also that exhaust and turbo reminds me of the ones on my car...

 

Wow outstanding !

 

Nice!!!

 

I think space is a big reason GM has resisted going OHC on their V8s. A pushrod is just SO much more of a compact setup. I can mean you can wedge one of these bad boys in a miata!

 

I can't wait to see the finished product, good luck!!

 

****ing nasty man!
