Man, why can't we get the Barra motor here?
and every time I see pics of it opened up I have to do a double take since I mistake it for my 2jz
They are quite good for something that's been adapted over the years tracing its roots back to the original American falcon inline 6 motor.
Unlike the 2jz they came in everything and cost like $300-600 here with everything and a gearbox for the green top that's just a turbo motor with more compression.

Pulled the motor and box out of it over the weekend and laid the complete turbo kit on the non mockup motor.

The car is now ready for prep and paint.
Also a specific ford territory that's featured on this site made an appearance for some fabwork

Hello!
Just been doing boring prep work for paint. Been getting the engine bay sorted so I can reassemble

Also took some fancy photos of some of the fab work, photography is just a dumb little hobby I do in my spare time (I'm not very good at it)

Also got my coolers all mounted and plumbed and began on fluids.

Ended up changing valve bodies to a ba/bf one so the ecu has full control over it now!

Painted the driveshaft, got the new diff in and painted the trans pan

And finally sat it on the ground for the first time in a long time. It's looking really good
