Cam timing and dat intake manifold. Dat how.

That is pretty much what I was thinking, but didn't want to offend people by telling them to use an all aluminum (weighs less) 5.7-6.2 V8 that has 350-430 hp.

I didn't read the whole conversation, but it is locked to the damper until you loosen the nut. That depends on the shop. Where I worked in the past, that isn't in the book, so a time would be made up, like .25. You have to charge something. And I stay away from Autozone and others on principle.

Or you could take the coilover assembly off as a unit. Then take it to a shop for the changeover. That will save quite a bit over paying the labor involving R&R on the car.

I can be done. But it is more work than a larger engine.

That looks fairly good. To me anyway. Is that turbo the same one as the near the begining of the thread with the 58 hotside? That seems a bit small. It works ok on a 7M. There is more than just response, you don't want to choke it where your engine will start pulling hard. I will be following.

Valve cover gaskets, along with cylinder head cover number 3. But not today. And when I did it, I also changed the screws to new ones that weren't stripped and a new washer/gasket. With torque to 30 in/lbs. Stock is only 22, but my setting on the Makita is good enough.

:nono: As though not getting up to operating temp is the problem. That is why the oil and filter are changed. No change, then you have a problem.

What did you put into the 7M? Just wondering. And I won't pick on you for your obvious inferior downgrade. ;)

So early in the thread you had $1340 in it from parts from the swap. Where are you now?

I approve. Especially with that GM motor with a better head than the Land Cruiser I-6.

Overdrive means the output speed is faster than the input speed of a gear set. It lowers engine speed resulting in better fuel economy in steady cruising. However, it is harder to accelerate since the speed is increased.

The block will be drilled for the oil feed and return on the GTE. The castings will look the same.

The two minute idle brings a thermostat cycle. Maybe. Toyota is being careful.

Thanks for the comical irony. Sent from my keyboard in the land of realville. And by the way, there is a reason you are to idle from 15 sec to 2 minutes when driving. Even though it is water cooled.

I just buy the large neck beer because the cap screws back on.

Either/or. If they are small (twins spool slower) then it can respond faster with less power and torque. Many factors go into the final number.

The pump is capable of 100 psi. That isn't saying anything.

The pump doesn't provide pressure, it provides flow. Restriction from the regulator and j tube provide resistance (pressure) by blocking flow.

It is. I take you haven't yet read the rest. As stated, it doesn't work because it needs the signals that AEM doesn't provide. Sure, you can fabricate.
