Thanks all for the kind words. She's running pretty good right now. Only issue I'm having is Transmission DTC codes 42 and 87. I think it's affecting the power delivery a little. Code 42 is the #1 speed sensor. Supraforums has a discussion about how this is related to the odometer circuit cold solder, but I don't know if it applies to SC's. Code 87 I cannot find. Any help appreciated.

Only thing you didn't mention was the tranny crossmember from the SC.

1. SC400 DS both halves
2. Rubber donuts on diff side and tranny output side (should still be on the SC400 DS)
3. SC400 output flange
4. SC300/SC400 tranny crossmember
5. A 30mm deep socket to remove the output flange nut.

Enjoy

The Jdm engine comes with the ecu that belongs to it, so all that is reqired is appropriate splicing with the sc harness so the body plugs marry up. A three foot extention is required for JDM right hand drive.

You can't use the GE ECU with a GTE engine without serious modification. Hope that helps.

Thumbs up SimplyZBes aka The Master Hater

I am going throw my two cents in. Your project and your outlook was brilliant! I love the way you did all your engine work on a stand and remained patient. Everything turned out as planned and it looks perfect.
