Well Ive been spending hours and hours on this forum for a few weeks now and figured I would sign up.. anyways I got my pickup for free a few months ago and already have 3inch drop rear, torsion bars off, 15% tint, magna flow exaust, and I took off my bumper...

This pic is old but its a 1989 with 60k original miles on the motor and 120k miles from being pulled behin a rv

Anyways ive read every write up there is on 7mgte swaps but they are all for 4wd and preruuner ! is there any major differences in doing it into this truck ? also my main concern is the tranny... can someone explain what bellhousing and what internals I need ? or do I just need the stock 5 speed that comes with the 7mgte ? and what rear end should I use ? how much does it cost to get a drive shaft made ?

Now for the bags.. I really want to bag it but I want to make sure its safe to use bags when im going to hopefully in the end be pushing 5-600 hp on the 7mgte... also is there anyone in FL hopefully close to tampa that would want to help with doing the bags and motor swap ???

 

Oh and I forgot another question... the torsion bars.. how do you turn them down ?? theres 1 groove bigger then the rest so I just took them off completley.. it rides rough but seams fine.. someone let me know.. thanks

 

welcome

Welcome to toyotaminis.com, I am glad to see another ride to join our growing group of minis. Seems, youve done alot of reading and most of your answers can be found in previous threads by typing in the ( search )! Some of the engine specifics are not my specialty, but, I know alot of guys on here that could probably answer them. Once again Welcome

weclome, im pretty sure the bags could handle them as long as it was designed right... other than that i cant really say much for that swap becuase i havent looked into doing that kind, sorry, hope someone else on here can help u out..

well the deal fell through... the guy bought a different bike elsewhere since he could not wait untill 4pm to make the deal ( I was in school )... but there are 12 people watching it and 2 days left... well see what happens.. and Im really looking foward to meeting some people on the forums and maybe do some work together if we are close enough...

 

I'm pretty close, I'm not all that fantastic at spinning wrenches, but I hand off a mean beer and sport a 91 Toy that needs a lot of work, wonder how many FL people we have in the vicinity?
