    This is how mine was run. You limit yourself to the toyota TC or a toyota sized TC.

    Newgen's 2jzgte Swap

    The manual valve body was just like having a clutchless manual and with the ratcheting shifter it really wasn't horrible. Now the 3200 stall was a whole different issue. I had a t61 on the car and ran around 18-20lbs. Going from a stop was always a challenge just because it seemed like it...

    Newgen's 2jzgte Swap

    I had a MK4 with a th400, a manual valve body, and a 3200 stall. Not a fun car to drive every day but man it was fun at a stop light.

    chevy 350 swap

    The weight difference between Al and iron block is 100lbs. I wouldn't call that a balance killer. The Al block is an easy way to shave weight but if you are going over 600hp then the iron block is hard to beat.

    At witts end

    Sounds like ignition relay to me. That kind of inconsistency in starting but the idle issues don't match.

    SBC/LS1 with R154, anyone done it?

    I buy the advance adapter bushing and cut it down to 1". The 1.5" length is too long and wont let the trans bolt up. It was meant to work with the 1" shorter input shaft on the R150. I guess I should just have a batch machined since I have all the dimensions and drawings but I am afraid that...

    SBC/LS1 with R154, anyone done it?

    I did not take dimensions but I did sell one to a member here. I can't remember who it was off the top of my head but he did post pictures up in my build thread. I would make the adapter thicker to get the input shaft splines out of the crankshaft snout. Then you are moving the pressure plate...

    SBC/LS1 with R154, anyone done it?

    To tell you the truth you actually need the adapter to be thicker to get the splines of the input shaft out of the large opening. Then you could use a 28mmx12mm pilot bearing. No matter how much you take off you will still need a custom bushing for the smaller step. As far as dimensions you...

    SBC/LS1 with R154, anyone done it?

    There you go. Make sure you do it from the front side. There is a step on the inner diameter. I found that out the hard way from not double checking.

    SBC/LS1 with R154, anyone done it?

    Don't have advance do it. They charge an arm and a leg. Find a machine shop local to you and tell them what you want. If you don't want to go to the trouble they will charge about $40 on top of the cost of the bushing to cut it down.

    Thinking about 2uz swap in a 89 mkiii

    I have done the 1uz and am in the process of the LSx motor. They are of the same complexity as far as I am concerned. Pricing is almost the same if you go with a truck engine but parts are far more plentiful and much cheaper. I was able to buy an 02+ z06 cam, yellow springs, and push rods...

    Idle A/F

    I had this problem and it was the adjustment on the throttle rod was not allowing the IDL contacts to be made on the TPS. I chased my tail for a few weeks before discovering the throttle cam wasn't hitting the stop. I adjusted the rod and the engine ran better then ever.
