7M-Gte Into 1976 Te37

[SpicemanSteve]

I will be swapping this:

 

into this:

I will document each step as I go along. The firewall has been notched 4" and the section has been boxed:

The original shifter has also been relocated to suit the R154

The car is plauged with a little rust so progress will be slow.

Before:

After:

Plans include:

rear-mounted radiator

3" SS exhaust

8.8 rear

4 link

T70 turbo

30 x 12 x 3 I/C mounted behind grill

expansion tank

modified oilpan

custom catch can

shaved bay

bigger injectors (not decided which yet)

aftermarket ecu (not decided which yet)

fuel cell ans external F/P

swirl pot

 

All welding and fabrication will be done by me.

 

My inspiration for this was this little bugger:

Just a little update! Installed the motor to check clearances and to lock up the I/C

 

 

 

Cut out the spare tire tub an surrounding sheet metal:

Added 1"X2"X1/16" square tubing for reinforcements and radiator mount.

Combined a generic catch can and expansion tank to make this unit:

Why a 7M and not a 2J? Surely it would be the same amount of work? Or just working with what you have?

 

Should be a beast either way. You Yanks can do fun stuff to your cars, like this 1UZ-fe supercharged KE35.

Over here is Aussie we put fluffy dice hanging from the rear view mirror and we are put in prison for life.

Fluffy dice could put an eye out if you go around a corner too rapidly.

We're not allowed to go around corners now. We have to stop on turnstiles, rotate the car then keep going.

Thanks bro. I had to modify this side extensively. The outlet was inline with I/C.
