Finally lowering it Slammed68?

Sorry to hear this. My grandmother went into a Alzheimer care unit last April because we could no longer provide her the care she needed. Its so hard seeing great people lose there connection with the world. Its definitely a long goodbye.

I don't really like that culture, but the video was very well done and I enjoyed watching it.

Yep I have the boostwerks TH400 kit.

How much does your car weigh?

The only trouble with the 2JZ's is the tranmission. You can't find a cheap 6speed. The R154's are fairly stout, but rare and need internal work to hold big power. GM auto swaps are common and hold the power. They aren't super cheap either tho.
-
I'd do a 2JZGE. They are capable of as much power as a 2JZGTE, yet I can find good long blocks all day long for $500 up here.
Guy over on supraforums just posted a 870whp on a stock block 2JZGE.

Is this the car before the wheels and body work changed?

Comparing my Chevy R07 Flywheel (8 bolt pattern) to the standard 2JZ crank pattern, it would apprear they are very close in dimensions. I will likely do a little bit of machining on the flywheel and use a simple spacer between the crank and flywheel. Here is a picture of my Boostwerks TH400 crank adapter overlaying my Tilton flywheel.

Adapter Over Flywheel:
I did model the crank adapter for the GM 6 bolt pattern. This is NOT going to work without making the adapter plate two pieces. Too complicated for my liking. If you want to do a GM style trans, it looks like this method is the best bet anyway. I can bolt up any GM pattern transmission to my bellhousing. I can use Any Tilton or Quartermaster 7.25" clutch with this flywheel. It just seems to me that you open up a big can of worms trying to get non reverse mount starter applications supported. You could use the factory flex plate with the Toyota starter if you wanted to. This is the method most of the TH400 guys use.

Pictures for the day. Ross Adapter plate vs Tilton Bellhousing. Two pictures of the internals of my GF4A transmission.
Most of the driveline parts have arrived and are sitting in the garage waiting for me to design the crank spacer and pilot bushing holder.
The idea is to ovalize the mounting holes on the flywheel and use a 0.025" wall thickness bushing around the 10mm 2JZ crank bolts. This will allow everything to bolt together with a simple spacer.

Looks great! What sized rear tire is on that RBR?

This is a big project the more I look at it and take measurements. The width really is a tough one to get around. It basically makes you redo the frame rails, brake master cylinder, steering linkage, and TC rods. I'm still very much interested in this! I just need to get all the pieces lined up to pull this off as I don't want to start and give up half way through.
So far I have:
Wilwood reverse mount pedal assembly:
http://www.speedwaymotors.com/Wilwood-Reverse-Swing-Triple-Master-Cylinder-Pedal,1959.html
I'm going to high mount the steering rack and flip the tie rods so they go down into the steerers the the struts. This should straighten out the steering linkage and allow it to go over the top of the motor.
I'm going to move the TC rods forward like a 240sx.
I haven't figured out how I want to do the frame rails. I can widen their spacing, but then I lose tire clearance and turning radius.
One step at a time I guess. I need to yank the L28 out and start cutting

Went to Tube Service today for some 2" square tubing. I'm redoing the rocker panels and welding in a temporary floor to get me rolling again. My welding will finally be returned to me after a 9 month lone to a family member. Never let family borrow your expensive tools. I was supposed to have this back in JUNE!!!!!!
I got the car back into the shop tonight, so it can dry out and await me working on it. Gotta love Thanksgiving week shutdown at work. Getting paid to work on my car is great! Having time to do it is priceless

Been looking at adapter plates for both the EG33 and 2JZ to use the Dog box.
Here is my 2JZ analysis:

Not Mine, but damn:

Have you compression tested all cylinders?
-
Here is my Clutch, Bell housing and Starter.. I need to source a release bearing for the clutch, and a pilot bearing for the crank adapter.

I haven't update this in a long while. I've basically haven't done anything with the project in the last 5 months. Its been sitting, and I've been focusing my energy elsewhere.
I'm trying to get a good direction with this project. I've currently stock piled a lot of random parts for this project. I need to choose a direction and see it through.
Engines owned:
Subaru EG33 Flat 6 3.3L
Lexus SC300 2JZGE
Audi 2.5L 20v 5 cylinder
Nissan L28 (currently in car)
Transmissions:
GM TH400 with super bellhousing & adapter kit for 2JZ
Gforce T101A dogbox transmission
Nissan 4spd (currently in car)
Lexus 5 spd auto
Rear Ends:
R200 (open)
R230 (3.67, vLSD)
Suspension
280z sectioned struts, hypercoil springs, Bilstein 36mm inserts
4X C5 Corvette Uprights
Wheels:
4X Rota RBR 17X9.5 w/ RE-01R
Body:
Full 280YZ fender kit
ZG flare kit
It basically looks like I have enough parts here to build 2 or 3 cars. In the short term I need to determine which direction I want to go with my current project and stick with it. Currently I'm leaning towards doing the EG33 with the dogbox. Suspension will probably be 280z strutted suspensions. Not decided on the body at this point because I need to determine how low I want the car to be. If I go really low, I'm going to need to use the YZ fenders. Otherwise, I will use the ZG's.
Regards,
Justin
BTW, Here are some pictures of the Gforce box I just purchased. I have a reverse mount starter Tilton setup with triple plate clutch already to go along with this. It has a 1.25" 29 spline input shaft, with 32 spline th400 sized output shaft. Standard Nascar COT driveline.

Are you doing any FEA or that sort of modeling to make sure you won't have failures down the line? Are there rules of thumb that you are using to design the wheel?
