Getting the Wheeling Fever
After the oil pan was a squared away I had a bit of engine and parts cleaning followed by some new parts.

Here is the flywheel inspection plate, trans stiffeners, engine mounts, bellhousing and power steering brace.

Here's the engine getting a bath. I went through a few cans of engine degreaser. I wish I had a power washer, that'd been nice.

One of the most nerve wracking things of this swap was drilling a hole into the block to relocate the dipstick. I just took a deep breath and went really slow. This it in its new location. It came out better then expected.

After the engine bath she was ready for some new goodies and prep before install.

Here is the EGR block-off kit installed. Really needed this to make room on the backside of the engine. Kept the firewall pounding to a minimum.

New clutch, nothing fancy here just a stock replacement.

All buttoned up and pretty much ready for install.

Found out that I really buggered the threads on the engine mounts when I man-handled the 22RE out. Learned the hard way to completely remove the entire engine mount at the frame not just the engine mount from the rubber mount. Thank goodness I was able to run a die down the bolts and fixed the threads!! That had me sweating a bit!!

Here are the engine mounts out of a early Supra to make it so that it'd bold up to the stock 22RE mount locations on the frame. Had to re-drill the locator holes on the mounts to fit the rubber isolators.

Here's the finished product, worked out perfectly.

Once I got the engine wedged in then the real fun began...relocating all the accessories!

[Linked Image]

I started by clearing off the drivers side inner fender well.

[Linked Image]

Here's the finished product. I was able to mount the supra ignitor and resistor using mounting locations for the 22RE equipment. The aux fuse box found a nice home high up near the brake booster. This worked out better then expected.

I kept the battery tray simple here. Just relocated the plastic tray and bolted her down.

[Linked Image]
I know most have used brake line to re-route the fuel supply and return lines, but I found it easier to use fuel hose instead. Much easier to route and once it was all secured up it looks really nice.

Here are the throttle cables side by side. I salvaged a throttle cable out of a '89 Supra(Right and it was all but a bolt in replacement. Only thing I had to do was trim some of the rubber on the firewall mount so that it would bolt up and sit snug against the firewall.

The open element air intake is actually what I was using on the stock setup. Suprisingly enough it bolted right up to the Supra MAF, with just some widening needed to match up the openings. The ducting for the intake is a bit of a mix of tubing, but over-all it keeps the inner diameter the right size for the engine so I'm happy. The power steering reservoir mounted up nicely here to feed the pump. Getting a custom high pressure custom length hose made for the supply line to the steering box was much more then I had expected and hurt a little bit when I paid him!!! It's a really long line and I had to run it and the return line over the top of the engine due to space restraints. So far I haven't seen any issues with it.
