Shonuff Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 what is the axl code on that crown? is it a 5lug? you might get lucky and be able to swap in a newer diff for better hwy gears. Quote Link to comment
CharlieBucket Posted February 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 not sure on axle code right now, but it is a 5-lug. Quote Link to comment
Shonuff Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 i have no idea where the build plate would be. but it should either be in the eng bay on the fender or firewall, or in a door jamb. this is a pic of a much newer one the code on this plate is F312 F = 7.5in diff 31 = ratio (3.91) 2 = pinion setup (2= open 2 pinion) and if it ends in a even number its a open diff, odd its lsd. handy chart i like to use http://www.toysport.com/Technical%20Information/Toyota%20Differentials%20Identifications.htm Quote Link to comment
denveratsun Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 Sweet ride man! I love those old Yotas! I would really dig an old Corona too!

CharlieBucket Posted June 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 here's a pic from when it went off to our local shop here in GA. this is what a married guy with 2 jobs and 2 kids calls "progress" pic. Quote Link to comment
datrod Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 Paint the wheels red put some trim rings & whitewalls and call it good. Nice ride. :cool::cool: Quote Link to comment
tnip Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 (edited) awesome man... love it i say not red... but that's me. lower it a lil and clean it up and ride out. edit: this is the 2m you need... Edited June 19, 2009 by tnip Quote Link to comment
CharlieBucket Posted June 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 (edited) i have some bigger steelies with trim rings ready to go. they are off a dodge magnum. they are black now, i have thought about red wheels, but not sure. that is a 2m? looks sweet! i keep thinking about a 7mgte but the stock engine runs so well it will stay awhile. that engine is carb'd, so that would be an easier swap i suppose. no fuel injection to run. i have been told that any m engine will bolt right in and bolt to the tranny.

tnip Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 idk... it might not be a 2m... somebody that knows toyotas will pipe up at some point. i just did a google image search for toyota 2m and that was one that popped up... that one and the other pic already posted and that's it.. haha. it looks like it's in a 2000gt... so whatever motor came in them. edit: did some research... according to wikipedia that is a 3m. smaller displacement but dohc.

Gary Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 dont putta 7M innit :( good engines, tow pretty sweet and arent as slow as you'd guess but theyre unreliable. chronic headgasket problems all the time, though if you pull the head off and face it, and deck the block etc (ie do it properly) with the right gasket and ARP studs you'd be set just as long as you're prepared to do that is all :D crown looks tuff!

CharlieBucket Posted June 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 the stock engine is def staying for a long time. i like to talk about swaps alo but i am pretty sure this motor only has about 60k. and it runs great. at first i wanted a 5-speed, but now i even like the 4 on the floor. it is a very stong tranny, no need to mess with it.

bonvo Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 if any m motor will bolt to the trans then any m trans should bolt in as well get a 5 speed out of a older supra :D Quote Link to comment
CharlieBucket Posted July 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 i have thought about a 5-speed alot, but you'd be surprised with the 4-speed in this thing. its is geared nicely and will go over 100 without screaming to much. the whole drivetrain is just rock solid. i am going to focus on body and surface rust that covers everything on the bottom for a while. if i dont get por-15 doen there it will be a problem in the future.

CharlieBucket Posted July 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 I havn't updated this in a long time! 2 posts up i said the stock engine was staying a long time! Wrong! it blew up! i think i ran it to hard getting it back from florida and all after it's long break. Anyway, car is back on the road with a toyota 6M enine {5m top and 7m bottom} and supra mark II brakes. Running big steelies for now, the old 14" can't fit over the new brakes. Pics are from our annual 4th of July car meet Quote Link to comment

CranberryYumYum Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 please god don't go the 7m route.. oh.. too late :( car looks fucking amazing and those wheels.. i can't say enough about how good it looks. but you're gonna spin a bearing in no time with the 7m block. my buddy has gone through two in three years Quote Link to comment
Pacerace Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 I love the big steelies! Are they from a different manufacturer or are they aftermarket? Quote Link to comment

Plus i just cruise this car, it's not a race/drift car or anything. So hopefully it should be fine for a while. I love the big steelies! Are they from a different manufacturer or are they aftermarket? Dodge Charger! That's why the trim rings where easy to find i guess. i should have went with the crown vic 16" steelies maybe, but these do look bad-ass. but they scrub alot! 275 tires aren't helping at all!

WAGON JON Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 Wow! I have to say what a good cruiser to drive. I would rock that ride any day. :D Quote Link to comment

I'll try it Wow! I have to say what a good cruiser to drive. I would rock that ride any day. :D Thanks man, it is nice to cruise. Of course i havn't hooked up the exhaust yet, so it's a screaming open downpipe! Which sounds great really, but considering it a fresh motor and i can't hit full throttle during my break in period it's kinda annoying. Quote Link to comment
