Linden, can you start with just the car and engine? Gearbox is still in WA and the auto bell won't be coming my way for awhile yet..... unless you want to do some cutting and shutting to another bell... i have the adaptor plate and a CAD file of the v12 bell flange....

Tan.

no point having the car until i have the box on the engine so i know it all lines up.
hurry up and get the bits so we can start putting this thing together, you shoulda had it all in jan

i would have gotten onto it earlier if i thought you had a chance in hell of having any space in the shop in jan, haha.

There's still other work to do like the brakes and the cutting of the rear guards.... Should have the box soon.... as for the bell... unsure.

Pfft, what's the issue? nothing some chrome-moly tube won't fix

Maybe I'm missing something Justen but the thing is chain driven from the front of the motor. Looks like at least a bit of chromemoly pipe and maybe something to extend the oil pimp driveshaft.....

custom front cradle?

How hard is it to modify the crossmember instead of the sump?

Tan is on the ball A front engine cradle would be a cinch...well as easy as any of this type of stuff is.

It all sounds like far too much trouble putting these silly V12's into supra's.

I'll help out and take it off your hands to go into an MS51

[5000gt]

haha...so nice of you to unburden me....

seriously, i think a custom cradle still would be harder.....sway bar, steering rack and who knows what else will have to be moved/modified.....

we'll know soon when the sump comes off....

Linden, i'll be in tomorrow if you're around.... spending the night at surfers paradise...

[oldcorollas]

anyway, i had to laugh at you guys when i saw these
the seats alone have more plugs than an old corolla

[gianttomato]

Looks straightforward.

Dude where do I send monetas?

[big_zop]

I would hate having to diagnose an electrical fault on that thing...

Or worse still, trying to take care of quality control for Toyota when building these...

Scary!
