I wonder how many miles/years out of replacement the belt was.

Just the highlights from the old engine. Forgot to post when I swapped the thing out back in 2020. Been going strong since.
I think the PO was doing 70mph down the interstate, although could never get a straight answer on that.5 Photos

They aren’t called interference engines for nothing, one positive of the 5.7 is the timing chain.

Just got done doing the second set of LBJs (I do them at 40k miles intervals, I'm paranoid with all the Toyota LBJ failures I see get posted in the FB groups, lol), front struts, steering rack bushings, and UBJs. Sitting at 245k miles on the chassis. The engine had like 140k when I dropped it in. I can't remember if I ever posted pics of the carnage from when the PO let the timing belt pop on the interstate...

Been enjoying the hell out of this thing. Does everything well, except get good gas mileage. Can’t get it above 13mpg highway. Otherwise best vehicle ever.5 PhotosLast edited by slammin.e28; 09-11-2023, 10:36 AM.

Not that anyone cares but the blue conversion is complete, soldering the leds into the HVAC panel was a PITA!

Mike, did you move down to PHX recently, if so I should have reached out I was down there working on the "chip plant" on the NW side of town for a few weeks in JAN this year, and I still owe you a beer or 2!! Got caught in the New Years day blizzard about 40 miles NE of Payson and had to turn around and go the long way down though Show Low and the Salt River Gorge ( anyone that hasn't been there should check it out) to make it to work on the 2ed lol.
Polo, Nice 80 and thats a great looking build, I think I said it a while back nice to see I am not the only 80 guy here.
I am down in Phoenix for the next little while. It would have been nice to grab a drink, next time!
That area is definitely beautiful.
