Didn't you put a 2J in an old Cressida? I figured that was your car, considering the amount of detail and work that was involved.

EJ22 in the GenIII and exit.

I've stuck 2JZ's in lots of cars. The Cressida was Miles', I have a 2JZ Crown.

Did some work on the car this weekend. A boilermaker mate cut and folded a 3mm plate to fill in the gap in the X member that we cut out to clear the engine and I trimmed and welded it in yesterday and mounted the rack.

LH engine mount. Rubber mounts are diesel patrol.

RH engine mount.

Engine sitting on it's mounts. I haven't welded the mount brackets yet as I want to move the engine over to the right a bit more, this will require a smaller diameter booster off a different model subaru.

Nice.

So the rack remains in the std position?

If I told you I was a compulsive liar, would you believe me?

Collected a few more parts this weekend.

Turbo 400 with adaptor plate for A340, That's a 2JZ bellhousing, haven't got the 1GZ yet. Just been rebuilt with a new drum, extra clutches and larger sprag. Needs a custom converter once I get the bellhousing and some dimensions.

Cracka did some work cutting off the plenums in preparation for some tapered custom jobs.

Posted Image

He also delivered the TDO6SL2 20G's and tial 38's.

Posted Image

Here's a shot showing the current effect of engine weight on the car. With the subaru drivetrain it sat level. Still the T400 and turbos etc to go but it gives a bit of perspective on engine weight.

Cheaper, easier and more suited to the application. It isn't going to be a time attack car.

One massive sleeper this will be :) it would be strange pulling up to this and hearing a twin turbo v12 purring, I'm sure it will shock every one that try's and drag you at the lights :)

What is the application?

Lazy sleeper, drag, mega skids........
As it will be 2wd, what will you use for a rear axle assembly?
To hold the front hubs together with the shafts removed, do you just mod the ends of the old shafts?

If I told you I was a compulsive liar, would you believe me?
