Will do it slowly as funds permit, so will have to get it running stock first.

Yeap , what 2800lbs ? is that what the 240 weigh in ? Hmmm.. so you are building another r154 ? How much will it cost to have a stock r154 and get it build and gather all the parts needed to slap it in a 2jzgte ? Isn't it going to be near the v160 getrag figures ?
I heard you Gerry , i bet that guy learned his lesson.next time he sees me he gonna pull over and wait til i am gone lol

marlin crawler parts upgrades are around $300 given or take. plus labor or other misc they need. but the parts are on backorder ,so i think i might loose the sale will see.
Gerry you know how good is the excedy twin disc? my friend can get me one really cheap.

I personally have no experience but I don't hear good things about Exedy. I was thinking of a built r154 on the other Lexus SC400 instead of a 6 speed getrag so I can save that is the reason I asked about it.

I should compliment my wife for helping me hold the hood and take it out and put it aside . That is one thing I love about her, she is happy for me about my toys. She doesnt b*tch at all about them.
