  Special thanks to Bill and Jerico at Ace Auto/Scap, Inc. for the Toyota engine and tranny.  It's made of pure Obtainium, thanks guys!!

The engine as found in the junk yard.
 

Engine has arrived in my tiny shop.

Engine is mounted on a test frame and is now running in my massive warehouse shop.

A custom drive shaft was needed to connect the hydraulic pump to the transmission.  I contracted this out to Frank Wallace.  Frank made and balanced the drive shaft, it's accurate to 1/10000 of an inch.  Frank does not fuck around.  Frank can be reached at:
