    Limequat's 4.2l I6 Swap

    Got the entire thing: engine, accessories, PCM, harness - for $850. What a steal :) It has something like 23k miles on it.

    Limequat's 4.2l I6 Swap

    Not that I know of. The hummer one is just the one that I happened to find cheap. It's going to be all GM, as I'm running a solstice transmission. It's basically a stock setup from a Colorado I5 with a custom machined flywheel. The newer hummer has a slightly larger disk, but I didn't...

    M70 V12 Supra

    I gonna say, run away. Now. Fast as you can. While the "cool" factor is pretty high, the realities are terrifying. Reality is this engine makes less than 300 hp and is un-tunable without some exotic engine management. It won't make a good track car as it will be underpowered and nose...

    I was just given a Supra...now what? Now with pics!

    Retorqued the head bolts this weekend. I'm pretty sure it was originally torqued to factory specs because I was able to get another 45-90 degrees out of each bolt. I'm not sure what to think of the oil in the overflow, though. There was only a small amount floating on top of the coolant...

    Limequat's 4.2l I6 Swap

    Painted the pan with wrinkle coat, installed on the spare engine and test fit it. My 2 y/o running the cherry picker: Tough to see anything in the pics, but it fits.

    Leak testing the fab'd pan: Making this pan was a PITA. Almost wish I had paid the $$$ to get it CNC'd

    Small amount of rust over the right rear wheel. The rest of the body is pretty straight and clean.
