Took a little trip out to the mountains this past weekend to pick up some bits for a long, slow engine build for this car
And here's the goods:
That's a nearly-complete 7M-GTE with new pistons, rings, gasket set, etc
The things I'm missing off the top of my head are injectors, turbo, head gasket, head studs, exhaust manifold, ignition, and intercooler.
The plan is to build this very slowly over the next year or two back to mostly stock spec with metal head gasket and ARP studs. Stock turbo, stock electronics (I pulled an engine harness and ECU out of a junkyard car for stupid cheap a month or so back). Supra radiator, 5M oil pump/oil pan, new uprated clutch, custom exhaust (likely based off of a modified aftermarket downpipe, and custom intercooler piping will be needed, but the motor itself will be pretty much stock to be as reliable as possible (yes, 7M's are just as reliable as every other Toyota motor given studs and headgasket).
I got all this stuff for an insane deal and this is by far the easiest swap there is so keep your "Why don't you just swap in a 2J/1J/1UZ" crap to yourself.
For Sweden
