Well, please let me know if I can help with that, Anthony.... I can't promise on short notice with my life, lol... But I WILL TRY! I've helped quite a few L.A. yotatechies, WITH PLEASURE! lol... But you're REALLY local... so it's not any trouble, providing I can get away. If you'd like to have a second set of hands... just call first, ...can't hurt to ask me, right? lol.
Best wishes, either way, Anthony! Blessya!

I'm doing ok with the project. I almost have the engine physically in the truck.
The duct tape is there to hold the plywood to protect the condenser.
I forgot to cut off or remove the old exhaust so it's not sitting right. I'll cut some off tomorrow. It's a challenge trying to line up the transmission input shaft with the pilot baring with bulky engine. I'm hoping that if I lined up the bolt holes that the rest will lined up ok.

AWESOME! Hey, you have to give me a ride in that thing when you're ready, ok? BTW, ... I meant it, man... I would love to help if you need it and I can make it out... Just let me know, ok?
I know nothing about requirements, etc., ... but I'm sure you'll get it just right. LOOKS SO CLEAN, ANTHONY!

I learned a few things ....
I tried using 3.4 starter but it doesn't work. The F150 man
trans already has threads on the bell housing. The 3.4 starter has threads on both holes.
I also switched the alternater belt and power steering belt so the alternator doesn't touch the steering shaft plastic cover.

I'M STALKING THEM ALLLLLLLL, MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA! hahaha.
JK, ... I just wanted to let you know that I would gladly help, Anthony... Oh, and I promise, I wasn't trying to be pushy! lol. I've had multiple opportunities to check in today....
PS> at least I'm posting, right? lol. I mean, this is a very desired swap.... I'm really shocked, to be honest, that more haven't chimed in! lol. But then, you're fast, so I guess that's part of it.
I bet you can't wait to fire it up and roll to the mountains with that sweet trailer of yours! eh? lol.

great. that's one hurdle down...I also noticed I don't have EGR system on this one. There's a plug on the driver side of the exhaust manifold for it.
Question..There's two little tube for the coolant that goes towards the rear of the vehicle...what' is that for? It's hooked up through a T for the heater.
Nevermind, I think I have the optional rear heaters so I think that's where it goes.

haha. I'm down to wiring now.
I post on another thread about using auto ECU instead of the manual one that I got for 98 when my engine is from 96.
I'm also dealing with my Trans on the supra now. just happened this eve. sunk in and didn't come back up. I pulled it up after pulling over. It became stiff after that. I think the seal on either the slave or the master cylinder is bad. I think I'm gonna replace them to see if it fixed. If not, it's the pin in the fork that's loose. I can't tell yet. I'll deal with it on Friday when I take the day off. I'm getting a ride from a co worker that lives in Lomita tomorrow.
I'm getting a new fridge too...the old one is not cold anymore. I tried cleaning the condeser with no luck....14 yr old fridge.
We're down to one car now. Tomorrow, my kids starts school too.
sigh....just one thing after another....How much more can be pile on here.....
