how much do you have to cut for the exhaust?
Probably have to be about 3/4 to an inch. Hard to tell for sure cause obviously it wont fit but that looks like what its gonna need. I might not even need to notch the entire height of the frame but I figured better to be safe than sorry.
Sorry if I missed it but you're running the factory Toyota axle right? Do you know how much power they can handle? I'm just trying to figure out if I need to swap mine out. My goal is roughly 300hp max, so it isn't that much but I figured you would be one to ask since you have a small block.
I saw a guy on youtube that ran a 2jz (I think?) truck into the 9s with an 8" rear end and a trd limited slip. Thats what I got in mine. It's a 4 cylinder 8" rather than the stock 7.5". The turbo/v6 8" would be better.
Thanks man I'll have to see what size mine is, but that definitely gives me hope of using the stock one.
Finalized the mounts last night. Should be posting up pics tonight if I get it together after work.
So I started workin on that notch again today for the header. AAAAALMOST fits. I ended up hackin the ear off that side of the transmission to turn the flange 90 degrees on the header. Now I have to trim a little more out of the inside of the frame and shes in. Then it's on to welding in new plates inside the frame.
