Well i'm just going to keep on truckin.
Fuel.
Since I'll be getting about 3 Gal/Mi I needed to be able to feed the fire. The factory fuel lines and pump will not work for me. Maybe for a 4.3l swap but not 510hp of 40" tire burning happiness.
First i removed the fuel pump out if the tank. Since the sending unit and fuel pump are separate. You can do what you want. My last project I replaced the factory fuel pump with a mustang GT pump. This time I'm going mechanical for safety and serviceability issues.
I gutted everything out of the bracket. drilled a hole big enough to put a -8 AN fitting and then i ran a stainless tube to the bottom.
This is the end product. At least 2-3x bigger fuel supply line.
I ran stainless braided -8AN fuel line all the way to the Carb.
Heres a conversion if you are unfamiliar with AN sizes.
a -2 hose has an I.D. of 1/8"
a -3 hose has an I.D. of 3/16"
a -4 hose has an I.D. of 1/4"
a -5 hose has an I.D. of 5/16"
a -6 hose has an I.D. of 3/8"
a -8 hose has an I.D. of 1/2"
a -10 hose has an I.D. of 5/8"
a -12 hose has an I.D. of 3/4"
a -16 hose has an I.D. of 1"
a -20 hose has an I.D. of 1 1/4"
Exhaust.
On this product there are 3 things that my friends and I didnt do. Narrow the axles and do the exhaust.
Luckily for a local subaru performance shop. I got the exhaust i wanted.
Dual 3" with H-pipe and Flowmasters all the way back.
Getting 3" in a 4runner with a V8 is no easy task.
The front portion had to be mandrel bends due to the tight space also the whole exhaust was done in sections so it is removeable from the 4runner.
the rest was done on a tube bender and pretty much came straight down the drivers side .
The lift i needed from the start.
Shock Hoops and mounts
Now that the suspension has vehicle weight back on it i started mocking up the front hoops.
I used the same fish line and washer method to get the hoop centered on the axle tube. As you can see mine are not straight with the frame, they are straight with the ground.
I had my lower tab's made, i cut them out of cardboard then took them to a plasma table and cut them out of 1/4" steel. I welded mine to the top of the U-bolt plate. Everyone has their own idea's this was mine. (shocks are fox 2.0 reservoir 14" travel)
For the Rear
I used Sky's rear shock hoop (dont mind the booger welds, it was redone)
Made tabs for the bottom just like i did the front.
Up next... transmission coolers, traction bars, custom hood and what ever else i can think of.
