Looks awesome! Those cam gears were a perfect match for your valve covers too! Are you going to leave the upper timing cover off?

Very Nice FF manifold too!

I must ask...Is that the SS Autochrome mani?? I'd love to hear your opinion on fit/finish, and also an update after you have run it for a while.

Very good job man!
A few things I noticed tho:
Those frost plugs I think they're called, the bare metal circles on the sides, won't they rust if not coated? or are they treated metal. And also, you don't seem to have the starter plate on yet your flywheel is already bolted on it's just have to come off before you mount it so you can put the plate on, unless you have another way of mounting the starter.
regardless, that engine is super nice, especially the manifold and custom drop-down from ron. I like the colours too, my exact choice, except I will have darker blue.
What are the internals? anythign wicked you didn't tell us? :naughty:

verry nice.great effort.Just a quick question regardin the forward facing intakes,where do u put ur alternator? and do u keep ur aurcon compressor too?Keep postin the results of the new motor

actually the freeze plugs where supplied by my machinist and different from the toyota ones. I am going to use a clear upper timing cover with the stock
lower cover. I got this manifold from street imports ( i think all of the ones like mine are the same sh@t). i had some concern with the manifold clearing the oil filter housing, but when i put it on everything fit fine, it clears everything, i think even the dip stick tube will clear to the side of the manifold but i willl let u know when all the stuff is on. the flywheel was just
on to make sure it fit properly, cause i heard someone had a problem with theirs. but the plate is two pieces anyway, i think. there is alot of internal stuff that i did not post :icon_bigg but i will post specifics after i have numbers. thanx for the complements guys.

damn, thats going to make some #s on the dyno, and it looks like you could eat off of it, so clean.

I am just starting a rebuild myself. Your engine is just amazing and a real inspiriation! Well Done.

ah man that looks good! can't wait to start on mine!

once again, thanx for all the compliments, about the alternator if u notice where the alt normally would bolt on in the pics u will see a shiny bracket, which was supplied by ron. this allows the use of a ffi in conjunction with a/c.
