242 meet in Portland when?
It still has a ways to go before its enjoyable. I was an idiot and pulled the HVAC and factory in-car wiring, so I'll need to figure that out. Plus suspension, and cleaning it up after a 2-year hibernation
Talking about hibernation, Mine had about 4 years to the date. Bought it 9/15/16, registered her 9/03/2020. Had to pull the oil pan out for a helluva leak repair. I test drove it around the block and it needs some fine tuning, but it rips!!! 7mgte supra swap 5 speedo trans and a g80 locker. Regards to Seattle !!!

First start
Nice. V8, the new +t.
Thats an interesting swap, what made you choose 7MGTE?
Hey , the engine was a gift back in 2007. I had a cressida and I swapped the 7mge to the turbo 7mgte. It was my test mule. Had the cressida for over 10 years. It rusted out at the rear suspension and the fuel line. It was costly. I used to tow , so on the way home from work i glanced quick at a 240 wagon. I returned to see it cause I always like them since I saw one back in 1987.I friend has one so i checked the engine bay and toon some measurements. I t was one inch over the cressida engine bay. I had rebuilt the 7mgte, so it has less than 10k.
I began searching for a wagon and it took me about a year to find her. Just today I began reassembly of the flywheel, clutch, trans, driveshaft, trans supports and starter. Tomorrow i shall continue the rest of the things. So thats the reason why. Thanks for your concern

lol , ok , well now you know the reason why the 7mgte. Yesterday I redid the right side motor mount cause the factory toyota has taken a beat and the engine vibrated at 3500 rpm. I friend changed his mounts out of a yukon and one of them was still new.i think it was swapped back in 2016 caused it was stamped 15. It took my an hour but I think it was the best hour invested. I feel it wil diminish dramatically the vibration. I will eventually work with the left mount. The yukon fitted perfect in the volvo cross member like it was meant to be for it.Ma?ana I shoul try to get the rest of it put toghether. Ok SeeyaNo concern here, I think its cool
huh. Thought the xmember was supposed to mount the other way round.
Thinking I got lucky and found a buddy who is heading my way with an empty trailer on Sunday. I wasn't planning on having my car back in my possession until ~thanksgiving, so I'm pretty excited
That?s awesome news! Are you going to be able to drive it before winter?
I think you would be best served by getting factory harnesses to match your dash.
Rather than re-inventing the wheel.
Did you keep any of the parts you pulled?
