We got the latest 7m running tonight! We just did the initial 15 min run time and changed the oil, has no leaks and sounds great. Break in starts fri.

New engine harness
ARP rod bolts were installed on the new rods and then they were resized
Fully spin balanced the new shortblock rotating assembly with the flywheel
ARP head studs and HKS metal headgasket
Maft Pro with boost control and speed density
Driftmotion custom intercooler kit with larger Spearco style ic and Type RS bov
Zeitronics ZT-2 wideband
Powdercoated intake and valve covers, everything else aluminum was bead blasted clean

Wheels and coilovers are on the list of mods, and a nice car wash too :biglaugh:

Damn, a new shortblock from toyota? How much did that bugger cost?

If you have to ask you are not baller enough. :biglaugh:

It was possibly one of the last ones available from Toyota.....ever.
It was one of only 3 left in the whole county according to our dealer, and that was months ago.

Yes, the 20 valve will make the Starlet into a little rocket! The Tom's cover is possibly the only one in the US btw. I put a 82 Celica rear end in the Starlet already, and it's getting a LSD and a standalone soon.
