1j, 2j, 7m, powered off road vehicles

[Scot]

Has anyone ever built or seen a mud buggy, sand rail, or any other 1j, 2j, 7m powered off road vehicle? Maybe a jeep?

The concept of using one of these power plants peaked the interest of my mechanic friend that has fabricated other off road vehicles. If nothing else it would be different.

It seems to me that someone either has tried this and it doesn't work, or no one has thought of it. Hmmm, 6-700 hp 2j mounted in the rear of a buggy screaming accross the mud?

Sounds fun....

I've got a '73 FJ that is going to get a 7M-GE transplant, one day.

I don't remember who, but there is someone on here that is doing a 7MGTE swap into a... Toyota suv don't remember which, I think it was a Landcruiser

Just do it, theres no reason why you can't Except for budget maybe...

How's with grip with 700hp on mud? Hmm...

I'm very, very slowly building a high static CR 7mgte for my '94 Toyota Pickup. I have nearly everything I need, except for the time to actually do it.

^You sound like my bf.

He is building his 1990 Toyota 4x4 for a 7MGTE. He already has the tranny/bellhousing chosen, and made motor mounts for it and cut the front end to fit the radiator and electric fans. Now he just has to actually BUILD the motor... but is currently sidetracked by getting his Supra painted which has sat around for 3 or so years.

That's got to be one of the most unsafe things I've seen in awhile. That cage is pathetic.

its insane. no side bracing, or triangular structure... and the shocks will rip from that sheetmetal in notime.
