so continuing on with the build .. got the battery trey done ..







I like to use the 84-88 rad overflow tank , as it's smaller and offers better room for the battery .
also , now have the Alt , starter ,Tranny and ADD wired ...

.

 

worked on the transfer mount today ,





and final test fit



removed and painted





.

 

gettin' very close





.

 

and a little wiring fun




.

 

 

What's your email? I'd like to get some information on the hood scoop as well, if you dont mind

yeah !! it runs ....
had an issue with the starter "clicking" so I spent 2 days (long weekend) trying to figure out why ? ...
I assumed it was my wiring .. but as it turns out , and with MOST "clicking" starters .. yes you guessed it .. it was the contacts ... or so I thought !!

I replaced the contacts , and re-installed the starter ...

click click click .... crap !!!!

pulled it again , and bench tested .. starter NFG . Ended up buying a NEW starter .. and installed

4Runner fired right up , and puuurrrrrd like a kitten

I'll get a pic of the contact tomorrow .. crazy , I have NEVER seen one like it , it was actually bent , and broke the spacer plate undernieth as well


.

 

so the contacts , or the 1 culprit anyway ..



you can see it also ripped up the ground spacer


.

 

cut the hood today and started with the center support



then the center hood section



Trimmed with edging and mounted the scoop as per above instructions



installed hood





.

 

so after driving it for a few K's .. it , and no codes , and everything working .. time to sauder all the connections

my Harness



engine complete now .. and running



deliver tomorrow

.

 

thats sweet, you do really good work! im thinkin about swapin a 3rz in to my 83

 

thanks ..

personally , I like the power of the 5Vzfe .. even got one in my /83 ...... it's the same amount of work as the #rz engines so why not more HP


.

 

"84-88 rad overflow tank is smaller" Starting this engine swap myself. Good information to know.

 

As the owner of the above-mentioned 4runner, I just wanted to say that Corey does really excellent work. Everything that I've gotten done with him has been to a very high standard. I am also happy that we went with the hood scoop route for the swap. One thing in particular that I like about it, which doesn't show up very well on the photos, is that the sides and the top of the scoop have a subtle curve to them that matches the lines of the original hood. Thanks again Corey!

 

does cory still do these swaps? i might be interested.......

 

Send a PM to slacker.
