***Update,***
Well pics. of parts that came in the mail today
Fuse cover
And new battery terminals. The + side has a voltage gauge instaled into it. werd.
And my cat i guess thinks the beer box is his new play house.
And well the engine is off to the shop. The owner Jim Hall happened to be passing by, gave me a call, and picked it up for me. (now i wont need to put the 7m in the back of my caddy and get it all full of oil.) we talked about the balancing, and he said it all will be with a 1/4 gram. :aigo: Jim also said i should be able to put 25-30 lbs. of boost to the motor when he is done. :love: (thats with a t-78, t-88, or a gt42 turbo of corse)
I asked about my head and he said #1 intake valve insert( part where the valve head seals to the head) fell out. That valve sits lower then all the rest. His labor would be $550 for a compleat rebuild:cry: . That seams to be a high price, is it? If i want to install 1mm larger valves, ss springs, Brian Crower cams would be all extra. This means to rebuild the head right its going to be like $1500:aigo: :aigo: :aigo: :aigo: We will look more at that around tax return time.
Tonight i am installing the lowering springs and they are kicking ass.

At least the GF is happy now, no more engine parts in the living room. I didn't want them to get cold or anything plus nice to look at.
Just a update for you all.

Well not so much a update but some pics. More $$ is going to x-mas gifts instead of the supra.
Also cold weather has set in and snow is flying so it is kind of hard to get motivated to heat the garage, and work on the car.
VSV from tubbie along with a altenator harness that needs to be sliced into the car.
Here is what the Gf got me for x-mas
(I know, I rule)
I even got some prosport gauges from her:icon_bigg Boost, fuel pressure, and oil temp. all for the a-piller pod.

Recived new gauge cluster to day in the mail No more white face glow gauges and red bezel. Factory, the way i like it. It even comes wit ha 1/2 tank of gas. LOL JK
Also got the pro sport gauges installed. But the boost gauge is BROKEN. WTF. Well my GF sent them a email about it and we will see what they do.
With the gauge lights on (flash on camera)
Pic of gauges with lights off and no camera flash. As you can see the middle gauge (boost) dosent work:3d_frown: :cry: :nono:
