header is sold already.

yes progress is being made. my motor was shipped today. so 3-5 day shipping, means late next week.

on a side not. i had a spare sr5 harness, and i wanted to simplify the wiring in everything. i hate having all this unneeded junk in the harness, ie i dont have heat, ac, defrost, wipers, guage cluster, ect so why do i need all this junk??? i dont. so i started on the body harness. removed the crap, followed wires through plugs and not just cut wires but un pinned plugs, and i deleted the passenger side fuse box and the under hood fuse box fully.

going to be nice when im done. theres so much unneeded wiring!

DOOR bar. i can tandem now! fits good but it might be an elbow killer so im going to pad it.

custom E brake

i did also cut the shifter hole out, and did some welding. i need to cut the battery try out, start firing and getting stuff done!

outside it was dirty but i already took the valve covers off and stripped it bare and inside is nice. motor is clean

this makes me mad

supposed to be uncut harness.......what the hell.

who cuts a harness in that spot. hell who cuts a harness!

Dude I know how you feel my buddy has so many engine he bought from online or overseas that say uncut harness...that is a bunch of BS. getting a uncut clean harness is like winning the lottery here.

at worst the harness is fixable. i will just need to hook up a maf wire, and run power and grounds and solder that chunk back together. all other plugs are in tact and clean.

wow lookin good. all i would say is to get a good polish on the intake mani and it will look great under the hood. you sir are working hard and getting it done kudos

Thanks :D :D

Anyways i made one mount today but the motor is sitting a bit off center. its not bad, and i doubt i will see any issue with it. trans is in good and driveline is on center.

I have left:

make passenger mount
pull motor
resruface flyhwheel and install clutch
clean motor and trans
clean engine bay
run the wiring harness on the motor

drop motor back in
hook EVERYTHING up.

im about 2 days from pulling the motor back out, im waiting on some parts i need to test fit and mock up and i could build an exhaust as well.
