[Supras] '89NA -> Turbo swap & Parting out

[Dan Gyoba]

Well, delays have been the name of the game here.  Nothing has gone quickly or smoothly with this swap, but progress has 
definitely been made.

Over the long weekend, I managed to finish some of the minor details that have been naging at me.  I swapped over the locks in 
the doors finally.

With luck, I'll have my head back from the shop by Friday.  I finally decided to just bring it in and have a professional do 
it.  Valves reground, gasket surface milled...  Safer that way I think.

In the meantime, I'm hoping to get a chance to install the IC and oil cooler in my car, some of the IC piping, and generally 
get ready to drop in the 7M-GTE.

The bottom end of the engine seems to be good.  The crank turns smoothly, the cylinder bores look good.

I've picked up a Hose Techniques SVH kit, to get rid of the brittle and cracking vacuum hoses.  I also picked up a Walbro fuel 
pump, which I intend to install.  No problems with fuel pressure for me!  (I hope)

I definitely miss driving my car, something that I hope will be remedied in a couple of weeks.
