so not much to add today .. but a bit ..

dropped the engine back in place , and started on the transmission .. and clutch .

blasted the fork to check for cracks and such .. , and then zinc'd



on this swap , you will need to use the 3.0L throwout bearing ..


greased the fork , and inner bearing surface , and installed .



installed the pilot bearing ..





the 3.4L clutch installed ..
with these kits you get a "goofy" plastic alignment tool .. but I like to use my own .. an original input shaft .




and finally the tranny back in place ..



also mounted the starter ..
on the bottom mount of the 3.0L belhousing .. it is threaded .. so is the starter .. you I had to drill the threads on the starter so the bolt would go threw

very simple



.

Great progress! Excellent Post!

Just thought I'd throw in my 2cents.

Thank you .. I appreceiate your comments ..

re & re'd the ATM wire harness , for the MTM harness ..
also installed the front shaft .. had to remove the transfer flange because it has 10mm GRD11 studs , and stock 83 is 8mm .. so same as the rear shaft , I had to drill .

also mounted the front of the exhaust again , to get ready to build the rear ehaust pipes , and muffler ..

also fully mounted the fuel tank , and installed senders , and pump for good ..

I think thats it ..

Looks good, Corey!

thanks ..
hope you had a good time when you were here ...

thought i'd post some progress pics ..

as of today Aug 9th 2008










just working on the "plumbing" getting the fuel lines bent up .. , almost done .

.

started the teardown of the original 4runner the harness came out of ..

My therory here is to strip down the harness , and use what I can ..

from the "cut " ( as seen in ths pic) on the end of the trailer .. I'm going to use the original harness - some un-needed weight .




I also have the new booster , and brake master , and clutch master ..

i'll get pics tomorrow ..

.

so as promiced .. the complete wire harness ... i'll bet this sucker weighs in @ 50lbs !!!
dont know what i'll be using .. but I wanted it in one piece ..



same here .. I know I will be using the booster , and brake master for sure .. but the rest , well ........ we will see .



and finally the front clip stripped .. and off to the recycler



.

so with family here for some holidays , and the shop being stupid busy , I havent gotten much done .. but every little bit , is a little more done .

I was working on the harness today , and got lots of it stripped ,


hooked up most of the connections , and tagged what I new .. and started cutting some of the non-ecentials , that I wont be using



and what I have cut out so far .




I have a few connections , that I have no Idea about (I didnt dissconnect).. so I'll have to do some research to figure out what they are .
