Been working on the exhaust... Mig welding it for now, but I will run over it with the tig to flatten out the welds and make it look prettier. I am going for Dart Izumi (see google images) style exhaust on this... Continue with the budget build, two glasspacks were selected. This is my first...

And a video to go along with it... http://mysoarer.com/videos/0618001701a.3g2

dark and mysterious... lol

Update time! I have hooked up fuel lines, heater lines, power steering lines, coolant lines, worked on my wiring a bit and it started first try. Cha-ching. Few minor kinks to work out, but the thing starts up perfectly. Could not be happier. Some pics for now before it starts to move under...

Some updates..... Nothing much really, working on cleaning up stuff... Work in progress, still painting the TB and putting on polished fuel rails...

That seems to be the issue with this swap, is getting the fuel pump to work with an RPM signal instead of always on. I just jumpered mine to start it, I have not found a great way yet.

Just as expected, after all that, it does now start! http://mysoarer.com/videos/0605001639.3g2 <---- Crappy cell video Tons of loose ends, still need to wire up the fuel pump correctly for one... But I know for a fact, that the engine does run now!

... Worked on misc stuff, but basically my wiring is all hooked up, the car cranks now. I need to wire up the fuel pump and fuel lines, and figure out a way to ground the ignitors (i dont have that handy dandy mounting bracket they come with)... Probably a few more misc stuff, but if I do...

Here are some pics of tonight festivity! Needs a lot of loose ends tied it, but that 1uzfe finally sits inside the bay perfectly!

Some crude, strong and very effective solid mounts. Angle grinder and a 115v miller tig welder made them. Yes these were made in my apt complex :)

If you use the wrong year mount on a MK3 W58, will it position the transmission in a different location? My W58 pressed really far back against the hole, I think im using a pre 89 mount on a post 89 transmission. Let me know Matt

Well a bit of an update... I finished all the patch harnesses for the wiring. The engine is nearly complete and ready to aside from a few small things not imperative for it to run. I installed my LS400 brake setup finally, with a 25mm spacer. It has about 1mm of clearance, I got super lucky...

Sorry to hear it man, same thing happened to me. I had some shit in my MC before and it just ruins the orings. I got a new Howe and MC and its been good since.

lol this is rediculous. I was told by a dealer that these were main studs but everyone else is telling me head studs. They came with the car, I have no idea, but its def. for a 7mgte. Im going to close this until I get a definite answer tonight.

Any idea which one is longer? These look (at least to me) too long to be main studs and just the right size for head studs.

Havent found any good specific 7mgte pics.

starting to think its not for the main bearings but for the head to block....

Here you go

You sure on head studs? Some dealer said main.... but could be wrong.
