I picked up my 86.5 a few months back for $500, the woman i bought it from told me the motor was blown.
When i got it home i checked the oil and there was none, so i put some in and tried to start it. It started but had a terrible rod-knock and actually blew up on the spot. LOL. My friend had video of it on his phone it was pretty funny. So the car sat for about a month or so while i looked for a replacement motor. Someone off of supraforums contacted me and said they were going to nj to pick up a 1jz and could drop me off the motor. When they arrived some things were missing/ broken even though they said i would bolt it right in and start fine. But i bought it anyway. Then i brought the car to my friends garage so we could pull the old motor.
(Let me notify you before you see the pics, my friends gf took them and she was trying to make them look "artistic" lol)
Me after removing the shifter
My friend Anthony doing something and his younger brother in the background
My other friend Anthony trying to direct things
Almost there...
There was the problem
So i cleaned up the engine bay a little, to get ready to drop the other motor in, i still need to buy gaskets and im getting a new clutch and flywheel resurfaced
