And my color scheme...Cummins beige. Don't ask why because I have no idea! Engine coming back from machine shop on Friday, pics to come.
do you by chance have a wiring diagram of the harness. i have a 87 7mgte wiring harness that is missing a few connectors and i believe has been cut into but im not exactly which connectors i need to replace since i dont kno what they connect to. byt the way car looks great!! im dong the same thing now building and swapping a gte into my n/a
Man, you make a rebuild look so damn easy. You're way farther on your second build than I am on my first!
The block and valve cover color is definitely different and I like it! Good luck keeping it clean haha.
Good stuff.

Well car has basically been sitting... The block didn't clean up 100% and I wasn't happy about that, so I sent it back to the machine shop and they are going to bring the cylinders up to the next larger size. Unfortunately the Wiseco 1mm's are made to order, so I have been sitting on my ass for about a week waiting for them, still haven't shipped out. In the meantime I had to make space (there isn't much in my tiney 1 car if that garage) so I could put the Supra in. It was getting destroyed sitting outside, someone splattered some weird sticky stuff all over the front end that I had to scrub off, and someone poured what looked like soda all over the hood... I taped the car up, not when it goes back outside (it will have to when I put the engine togethere, there is just no room), if they do vandalize it at least I have some layer of protection.
Anyhow, I cleaned up the pass side engine bay as much as I could, its much cleaner than it was. Out here in AZ everything gets so dusty so quick. Also installed my oil filter relocation head. Already have all my parts ready to go, just waiting on these pistons so the shop can hone, then it will be ready to assemble.
Oh, and also installed a new power steering pump, my old one was leaking all over my subframe and it was a nasty mess.

FINALLY got the block re honed for .040" Wiseco pistons. Rings all filed, pistons fully assembled on rods. Crank needs to be cleaned thoroughly, then will be plastigauging to double check clearances, then the bottom end will be together this weekend, possibly install the head this weekend as well.
Alright, it is time to kick it into gear finally. Been super busy the past couple weeks and haven't had any time to get stuff done. Some progress this morning. Should have the head installed tomorrow, and engine should be ready to go in by the weekend if everything goes as planned.
I like the colour scheme, nice progress I wouldn't mind doing this myself, good to see what's involved though compared to a 1300cc motor I was used to haha
Old men don't fuck around. Somehow missed this over the last couple years, found it today and am glad you stuck with it.
