Default Doing a transplant...need pics of a GS400 engine..

Well, im doing a swap(transplant) from one GS to another, and the engines I have are missing a few things. One is pretty much complete, except I think it's missing the AC pump.

So that's why I need pics of the GS400 engine, so I can look and see what exactly im missing.

Thanks.

EDIT:Here's the pics I took of the engine. I know I need the belts, and the radiator/radiator fans, and maybe a air-box, but I don't know exactly im missing from the bottom right of the engine, perhaps the AC compressor pump?

Here's the link to the picture gallery. Thanks!

Have you tried searching? I am sure there are pics all over this sight of engine shots. However, here is a pic of my GS430...I think it is pretty much the same on the exterior of the engine as the 400.

Thanks, I have searched, hmmm maybe I should of been more specific. Im looking for a pic of a gs400/430, without the front end(bumper/radiators) so I can see a front view of the engine.

Better yet, why don't you post a pic of the motor in question and likely someone will be able to tell you what looks like is missing. I have a pic of my front of the motor, but it won't do you much good since it still doesn't have all the accessory stuff on it.

No, I have 2 gs400's, one has an almost complete engine except the front is messed up and im not sure what parts i need, and the other gs has nothing under the hood, and im basically gonna move the engine from one gs to the other.

from the looks of your pics, just the ac compressor is missing from the engine. You have the power steering, water pump, and alternator. That's all there is that you can see from the front.

I think your missing the crank pulley as well, if it's there I can't see it. The pictures are a little difficult to tell, but I think for the most part, the AC compressor, and crank pulley will fill that area up.
