Joint project between my girlfriend and I, we just got the transmission to behave right this weekend.
A 2gr-fe is a strange choice, but it really wakes up an old luxury car.
This thing is fucking ridiculous lol.

That was originally front wheel drive, and still is, yes?
I hope you have plans for a hood scoop and something to settle the front end down now that there’s less weight on it (after the hood, of course).
Yep, still FWD. It uses the entire transmission system from the original Cadillac but we machined adapters to the Toyota bellhousing/crank bolt pattern.
It’ll sit down more once we finish putting the front back together and fit a hood. My girl works composites so when the mechanicals are fitted up we are going to mold a new hood with an included scoop. It is torsion bar suspension so it’s fairly easily to adjust the bars a few degrees so it can sit back at OEM height as well.
Brilliant. If there was a lengthy build video series, I would watch it.
I wish. Our work has been too sporadic and too spread out over the past year and a half to make a good video out of. And we don’t ever remember to record anything haha.
