R100 Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Some of you fullas may of seen this on tard me a few weeks back. Its a 1974 Toyota Crown super saloon. Has been parked in a shed since 1992. Was part of a deseased estate. Im not really too sure why i bought it or what plans i have for it, but for now i just want to make it drivable so i can move it around easy. It has done 79000 ks since the guy bought it brand new in 74' I have all the service history and original purchase receipt. I drained the fuel today and replaced the spark plugs but it still wont start. I think its low on compression, may have stuck valves. Dunno.. Anyway heres the best pic i have of it, was the pic off tard me. Will post some better pics in the next couple of weeks once i dust it off etc. Project discussion here > viewtopic.php?f=18&t=22184 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R100 Posted April 15, 2010 Author Share Posted April 15, 2010 Ok so ive decided to give it a birthday and repower it with a 1JZ engine. Would of liked a 2JZ but got a good deal on a couple of 1JZ's Will be keeping it auto with column change. It will be N/A as im not after heaps of power, just a nice upgrade from the factory 4M engine. Factory 4m > 108-122 hp (81-91 kW) Factory 1JZ-GE > 200 hp (147 kW) Picture below of engines when i picked them up today, i only need 1 engine but bought the other incase i need spares. ie; broken sensors etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
