I can't really make up my mind on the engine. But the 3.4L makes the most sense to me...
1UZ-FE(hard to find around here)
4.3L(abundant....but everyone has alot of people have done this swap)
3.4L( still toyota reliable, makes good power, I know where there are a bunch of them)

So, FedEx came by the house today. Again. And once again, they left me a present.
I opened it and guess what was inside? SWEET! My 6-lug centers!
I finally took the time to breakout the grinder and smooth up the edges where I plasma cut the factory 8-lug centers out. When I cut them out I couldn't cut close enough tho the edge without a risk of cutting too much out(geez, that sounded repetative). It left about a 1/8 of an inch all the way around...it took me about 30min and 1.5 grinder discs

After:
On Tires

BIG UPDATE!
My wheels have gone on a trip to Charlotte to have the 6-lug centers welded in! I should have them back in a week or so.
I have been bending tube like an insane person and tonight I finally got started putting it all together!
An idea of what it'll look like
Me melting metal
OH BOY THAT WAS A BLAST...getting everything level and equal
What do you think?
Here's how I left it tonight

More progress!
I got the driverside rail in tonight! The main pieces that everything will tie into are now on!
This was a pain in the ass to get equal. It took a big level, chain'd come-a-long, a sissor jack, a new fabbed tool, a ratchet strap and some cussing
Just gotta make sure...

Well, I got my links back today. I am so pissed, you have no idea. The guy F'd up 2 sticks $100 ea(roughly) So now he is gonna have to buy me 4 threaded inserts
1 link he threaded left handed 2x(and I can't even get the end to go in more than an inch!)
the other link he threaded right on 1 side and gutted the other! He tapped it 2x and cut all the threads out of it.
Here are the pics. It is kinda hard to make out though
I got them back before he could destroy all of them. Damn I'm mad

He is supposedly gonna make it right...That means I'm gonna have to bore the tubing out and put in Thread adapters...I didn't want to do that, but it now looks like I have no choice
