Hello everyone! I started with this 7mgte swap but the w58 kept breaking

I found a good deal 1Jz and r154..

I started cleaning her up... polishing and painting with hi heat. the pistons were gunky which made me suspect that the vss were toasted...
For the meantime, I started mocking up the block after I made custom brackets.
Pistons appears to be OK after cleanup
Anyways, I replaced VSS with Ferrea 2jz VSS, lots of countless hours put in, made an r154 bracket, made the driveshaft work for now by adding a bracket to the center wheel bearing... refigured intercooler pipes, then had problems with huge air pocket with no water circulating, replaced water pump and thermostat. Now the end result.

Thank you for taking your time to look at my build thread. I hope this inspires everybody to not give up. I want to also thank my wife and kids for the support.
