alright guys for the few that said hey in my intro thread, here is a little info on my build. No its not a supra.. But it is a Toyota. 1986 Toyota Single cab pickup. The only thing toyota left on the truck is the cab and frame. Here is the build of the chassis.

Now for the motor, pulled a 7MGTE out of a junk yard. Was reported to be running well when they stripped the car it came out of. Took it straight to the engine shop to be ripped apart. Since i had just blew up the motor that was in the truck i was just gonna do this one right from the start
Turns out the motor already has head studs, 550cc's, and upgraded wheel. So after i found out about those freebies i figured i should sign up at a place like this so when i have a stupid question and can get an answer from someone who knows about supras.
So since it is going into my truck i already have to do an aftermarket intercooler, which would work best as a front mount. Still havent decided on what size to get. Need to have custom IC piping done as well. Exhaust will be 3in turbo back. I am also assuming that i will need a Lex 4.0 AFM? Porsche diverter. Atmospheric is not an option for me as the truck is only driven in the dirt...

So right now i am dealing with what size head gasket to run. Head had been machined before. So Machinist says that after he is done it will be 20 thousandths off from stock. having an issue with removing the head studs, if i wasnt able to get them out to send block out to be decked. A MHG is out of the question correct? visually the block looks fine other then your standard gasket let overs, the HG wasnt blown. it was a running motor. i just dont like taking chances with anything that takes fine calculations. Basically i gonna be the newb here and ask for some guidence in my quest to solve my HG questions. Options on what to do, and best way to do it. Ive read many of the threads on here as well as the MHG thread. I research a lot before i ask questions. but this one hasnt been answered to my safisfaction. So thanks in advance to anyone who wants to help.
