NEED HELP fitting my engine under my hood

doored 94 toyota pickup 22re... what do i have to do.. pics please....i want to get it under the hood or close so i can run a small cowl hood

Drop the motor 1.5" or so. Section the oil pan and modify the drag link.

Get an early style valve cover with the slanted front. You can also get a low profile oil cap with an aluminum bung to get the cap down. But if you get the 73-78 ish era covers they come with a lower cap already.

Then you need to deal with the intake. Either shorten it yourself, or talk to Josh from RIC. He was selling some scratch built intakes that where pretty slick.

man u got some work ahead of u...when u done ull be able to give me some pointers for when i do mine

i plan on making motor mounts and sectioning the draglink (thanks for the sticky seth) but i dont know what part of my pan to section and do i need to move the crossmember under the oil pan? do i need it?

I run a 1/4" thick crossmember.

On the oil pan you should only need to remove the third sump. And there are a couple of ways you could do that. I did this one for a guy that wanted to retain stock oil capacity.

Basically a sump pan. Or you can just literally cut off the third sump and plate it. This was the first pan I did for my truck.

I lost about .3 quart capacity. You could easily gain that back with a remote oil filter.

I have the intake, chrome motor mounts and even an early slant front valve cover I will sell you. my number is 931-802-2956.

how can you shortin the intake your self...can the stock cast one be shortined cause i only need like a 1/2

jarth how much do you want for all three im doin the same drop on my 91 if he dosnt want them i do

$225 for my intake that josh at railit made and 125 for the motor mounts. The mounts aren't big enough for a drop to the doors but they work for laying rocker. I will throw in a old style round front valve cover for free if anyone buys either. prices are shipped.
