the engine, upside-down and nasty looking.
IMG 0066
front view of the upside-down headless engine.
IMG 0067
this is where the engine is going
IMG 0069
more of where the engine is going
IMG 0070
the benz tranny
IMG 0071
with no engine, the cruiser sure does sit high in front :)
IMG 0072
the cruiser transfer case. this is the rear output (cover removed).
IMG 0074
this is the front of the t-case. we need to make a divorce plate for this big open spot. :)
IMG 0075
this is a better shot of the spot the divorce plate needs to cover. that bearing needs a retainer, and the bearing and shaft need an oil seal.
IMG 0076
FJ40 transmission (donated by Ige! Thanks!). the rear plate is bolted on, and will be very handy for Gregg to put in the Bridgeport to register everything for the divorce plate.
IMG 0077
Garrett T-3 turbo in need of a rebuild.
IMG 0079
the benz head, all prettied up by Gary, with a fresh valve job.
IMG 0080
more head!
IMG 0081
this is the non-USA (extra-low first gear) 4-speed that came out of my Cruiser. i'll either sell it, or give it to Gregg for his FJ40.
IMG 0082
rear view of the tranny. that whole back plate mates to the transfer case.
IMG 0083
Gregg's FJ40
IMG 0084
the engine compartment in (what's left of) the Benz.
IMG 0085
motor mount and engine shock detail.
IMG 0090
AC charge info. we're using the Cruiser AC, but you never know, this might be handy...
IMG 0091
what's left of the car's passenger compartment.
IMG 0092
the current state of the whole car. :)
