With my wife out of town, and a whole weekend at my disposal, its time to act on my 2 months of planning and wiring.

I have my motor ready to go already fitted with gen3 3sgte water outlet housing and crank pulley. I plan on reusing my s54 tranny and possibly my existing clutch, flywheel, pressureplate and TO bearing. Unfortunately, the msd tach adapter was out of stock at my local shop, so i'll just have to add that later.

The wiring has been taken care of as well. My harness is based off of my stock 5sfe engine harness and the cut celica beams harness I received with my engine. If all goes well, I will be able to make more of these for anybody wanting to attempt this swap later.

So, aside from any grotesque wiring mistake, I should have a running beams transplant Sunday. Total costs should not exceed $1500. Pretty good for a US beams conversion.
