when speedsource did your swap, did they lower the engine when they made that custom crossmember?
I'm just curious cause my intake manifold is way higher in my engine bay. Could be just the difference between a 1mz and 3mz.

The spacer is as big as it can be while still making everything fit correctly.

Yes, the crossmember did lower the engine.

I'm starting to dislike updates... No news = good news. rolleyes.gif

Fixed:

Yesterday cylinder #3 (middle, by the firewall) went down. Replaced the spark plug wires, but it was the injector. frown.gif All rear injectors (3) replaced because of pain-in-the-ass location. $150 a pop. kindasad.gif But, fixed and drives 110% like new.

Coming monday:

Flex pipe on exhaust leaking (y pipe), taking in for replacing.

GOOD JOB with the restoration going on. I'm glad the v6 trend is starting to pick up a lil bit in this community.

I'm curious were they able to get your ac working?

Yes, AC is blowing cold. Posted some pictures a couple weeks ago, but for the sake of adding to this archiving thread, here they're.
