It brings a tear to my eye knowing that I can finally have a MT and a SC400.

Now all we need is chrisman's turbo set up in a kit.

Thumbs up hotness

Dennis,

I too have been wanting to do this, and I agree - this is definitely a way to get intimate with your car. I wish you the best and look forward to your results. This coupled with FI will be insane. Keep us posted!

Big thanks to

Castlemain Rod Shop for providing the connection between the transmission and engine

Damian for giving me heads up on some stuff about some stuff

Jeff from Champion Toyota / Jeff Marks Toyota for going through all the efforts to figure out all the little tiny parts down to washers, nuts and bolts and all the interior trim. These guys were a huge help in putting the pieces down. I called to order some interior trim and they ended up writing up the whole list of every little part that I needed to get this done.

BSWelchel : for sourcing me the corrent tailhousing and the very very newish R154

Peter of V8Supra.com for providing all the minute details and pointing me in the right direction to source some valuable information.

All ECU issues have been addressed.

I have an appointment with the shop in march 26th.

wish me luck.

sorry for the overdue update. Received 99% of the parts... one of the shipments missed a part and it's going to take a while to have it shipped from a far away place.....

i'll update the 1st page parts list with more details in a little bit.
