Ya its been about a year so kinda slow going.
I've done a lot of the small stuff so it should come together pretty quickly.

The engine bay was repainted after a lot of cleanings and sanding the rough spots.Lots of primer and sealer.


All the side glass was removed and polished.The window tracks were removed cleaned and regreased with teflon grease.
New track bushings.Remember this includes the 2 rear side windows which also go up and down.

Hey Whit the rear brakes are drum not disk right if you do a conversion to Disk keep me informed. Can't wait to see it finished.

[Whit]

Ya rearend is 80 supra disc with 85 supra LSD.
The coilovers are afco skinny coilovers from speedway motors.
Will have to test drive to make sure i got the correct spring rate and length.

The engine is a used low mileage JDM import.
Valve covers were paint stripped and baked under a heat lamp with high temp wrinkle finish paint 4-5 heavy coats.

I,ve used a variety of specialty paints on the engine.
High temp primer,flat black 1500 degree Bar BQ paint and some good ones from eastwood.com

Hey Whit its tough to tell in the pictures but is that engine a front sump motor? How goes the project any updates?

[Whit]

Ya i think its front sump,its the one that came with the JDM engine.Looks to be the same as the 4M pan.
I had the drivetrain in but the 87 w58 trans shifter was 2 inches too far back.

I now have a 83 supra w58 with a center shift location.

What are the fuel needs for a 7mg N/A ,i need to buy a inline electric fuel pump and regulator?

[Mazota TE51]

I normally use a walbro intank which is 255lph and run between 35-40psi but that is on a gte. I would assume a na is not much different. I believe you can use a holley or aeromotive external pump along with regulator set at 35psi and be ok. I even think walbro makes an inline pump. I will check it out. Yup its a gsl392 check summit.
