Pictures!!!
Only bad part is this is only 1/3 of what i took
My phone didnt save the rest

New south bend clutch now intalled

3vz flywheel bolted on with the arp flywheel bolts smaay told me to get( they worked great)

Trans mounted an hole drilled out
Going tomorrow to get a longer bolt for that hole an to get a tap for another so ill have 4 bolts holding then together

Then heres a new little peace of info for everyone
If you deside to do a 1mz swap an use the stock exhaust manifolds youll have to modify the rear mout to clear the rear motor mount. So far all this has ment is i had to trim the heat sheild an cut off the flange.
Well hopefully ill have more to report tomorrow

i see what you mean. im surprised that the clearance was that bad. i guess thats the problem with the S54 tranny. i bet if we used the E153 and the ST205 rear engine mount, it wont be a problem.

I talked to shephen-lee an he didnt have this problem with his 3vz an e53 so im guessing its just part of running the s54

Well more pics an problems
First the good.

Got the pipe turned down to the right direction.

If anyone else does this an desides to delete the a/c pump. This is the belt you need
Any bigger itll be too big an smaller it wont go over the pullys

An how she sets now.
Now for the problem can the front motor mount be put in backward?
It seem like its crooked an i cant get the back mount on
Kinda really makin me mad lol
I had to take a break before i went all hulk smash on it

Well 1mz is in an bolted down
Had to flip the front mount around. An put washers under the rear mount to space it up some since the o2 sensor was setting on top the streering rack
Then on the top side theres hood clearance issues with the intake
So ill have to cut the bracing some to clear it all
Then i have ti get another chunk of hose for the bottom to make it long enough
So next up on the list todo is the axles an wiring harness as soon as it shows up
Witch shoukd be tomorrow so hopefully shell be running by the end of tomorrow
Been a long day ill post pics later

hey post the pics anyway, ill sure be needing them. my car is still at the paint shop. once i get it back, ill be starting in on mine. first i have to tear down the 1MZ. it came from NJ and its completely corroded. every piece needs to be cleaned good. im just as well going to check all the bearings and put in new piston rings. new valve gaskets, blah blah blah.

We got a lot done today! Only a day behind where we should have been. I'll be glad when it runs. There's more to come on pics. I've been taking them so we know we have them to post

Engine in an bolted down


Rad goin in

Hood clearance is stupid close an it hits on the top of the intake so ill be modding the hood

And a rough idea of how she will look when its done
If everything goes has hoped it will run tomorrow
But for now im done for the night

Pass side mount is done. Working on lower rad hose now. Theres no real good ya for me to route it so im thinking i might jud modify the fan to fit alittle better with it
Then im i have to trim the other fan to clear the alt an the lower hose too
ill post more pics once i have more done

Ill post pics of it all alittle later tonight. Right now im working on a few little things like the fuel return line an the heater core hoses
An ill admit theres probably a better way to do the bottom rad hose but it will work for now
Might try an tackle the bearing carrier mount tonight too
Startin to feel more than alittle sorw from crawling all over the car for 3days straight lol
Me an trace were talkin last night an he got me wondering
Is there any reason i cant have the exhaust shop relocate the rear o2 sensor alittle lower before the y pipe an off to one side of the manifold?
That way i dont have to worry about the clearance between the sensor an the streering rack

project is looking good, keep it up. You guys still have the 5sfe alternator laying around? I could use it.

yeah you can rotate it or move it down a little. as long as its not seeing the other stream of exhaust

Stickers up to date
Well time for more pics

Modified pass mount
Basically just a peace of plate steel welded to to the stock 5s mount.



Pics of the lower rad hose
its a stock 1mz lower hose thats been cut an a universal flex rad hose that has a 90 degree bend at one end.
I took the 2 bends i cut off the 1m hose an used it to fit the hose better so mines made up of 3 chunks of hose.

Part number for the hose im using for top hose doesnt need an mods to work

How shes sets till the wiring shows up an this shows how the top hose fits

Awesome work man!
I considered a V6 swap before going Beams, but all the custom work scared me off.
For a first swap I reckon you've done pretty well!
3SGE Beams VVT-i powered Celica
The custom work isnt that bad
So far the hardest part has been the rad hose

Yeah guy; youre doing great. Definitely an inspiration to us swappers...
Thanks!!

Hopefully my swap as well as shephen-lee an smaay swaps will help people see the v6 swaps arent much harder than any other swap
