David
VanHulzen and his
1985 4 Runner
|
The Toyota Fordrunner in one of the most time consuming projects/
engine swaps we do, as the customer you must be ready to spend around
$15,000 to do the job right.
David's 1985 4
Runner looks like any other from the outside. Slightly larger
tires and front mounts for a tow bar are all that stand out. But
under the hood there is just something not quite stock living
under there.
David had his old
22r removed and upgraded to a 1987 Ford Mustang 5.0 , HO
V8. And Yes it's California Smog Legal! His Transmission is
a Borg Warner World Class T5, 5 speed bolted up with an
Advance Adapter. Exhaust: 3" Flowmaster takes care of
the exhaust chores.
