Hey all,
I don't really know what I'm doing with this build, but I'm doing well enough flying by the seat of my pants. I figured I'd make this thread for any help I might need identifiying little gizmos and whats-its on the om617.
My plan so far is to keep the om617 stock for the swap, and to keep the Toyota body and internals as stock as possible
-Install pyrometer and boost gauge for future use
-Fab some simple engine mounts with a plate of steel and some premade engine mounts like these, with steel stock welded to the frame to attach these to
LINK
-Use the MB PS bracket and pump mated to the Toyota PS gearbox, getting rid of the crossover hardlines
-Toyota alt mounted to the MB alt location and modified bracket, using all Toyota wiring
-Toyota starter mated to transfer plate
-No AC since I live in Western WA
I'll update this with pictures and more details as i go along
