1996 Celica GT: The Roadtripper, 1MZ swap: 90% there Options

[bnr32celica]

I'll just skip to the good stuff here as no one likes a long story.

Bought car, lowered, blew head gasket, fixed. Put in some 5GC cams and a header at the same damn time. Drove, let friend drive for a while, got back. Head asked blew again, did again. Motor started knocking, and here we are.

The go:
--1MZ swap in the bay, awaiting wiring
--S54 with welded diff

The stop:
--5x114 swap in progress (I still need wheels)
--V6 Camry brakes

The dance:
--Tein Stechs
--GR2s
--Rebuilt rear end
--GT4 rear tower bar

The show:
--2post
--OEM 15s painted black (for now)

The beats:
--Sony Bt2900
--Alpine Speakers

The glasses:
--HID lows
--Yellow highs

why don't you just buy a lightweight flywheel? it'd probably be worth your while.
Oh, and did you check to make sure that the starter will work with that flywheel? The offset could be different on it, and it might be bigger/smaller than the stock so you'd have to mod stuff to get it to work.

Had the backside of the flywheel machined. I can put 12v to it tonight or tomorrow once bolted up and see before I throw it in the car.

A lightweight flywheel is prohibitively expensive at this point unless the 4runner flywheel doesn't work. Not being cheap perse, but Iwant to see if there' lower-cost options.

No, I mean as in when the flywheel is bolted to the engine, the transmission is on, and the starter is bolted it. If you have a smaller / bigger flywheel, the starter might not fit properly or the gear won't line up with the flywheel.

4runner 3vz flywheel is 236mm and 120 teeth. The issue was on the backside. It bolted up, but protruded about 9mm too far because of that. Machine work fixed that.

I had this big long reply typed out, but I'll leave it at this: I'm drunk as **** right now and cranked the drivetrain off a pallet. I heard some pistons move and compression escape (plugs are out), so I'm pretty sure my idea worked.

I work best when I drink heavily, so I'm going to keep on keepin' on and try to get this thing cleaned up and sittin' pretty in the bay.

I told work screw off today, because I'm drinking and working on my baby, the only woman who's never left me over some bull**** ass ****.

you know what, I'm gonna put it out there because I'm drunk enough to not give a **** right now: **** bitches, swap Celis.

I'm going to Arby's.

OUT!
