77 13b Toyota Celica
Ok Im kinda late starting a project thread but I have been building for over a year now so its getting toward the end. Started with a 77 Celica with a nice 20r with sidedrafts drove it 1 week and tore it out and sold everything. Then started collecting 13b parts after talking with my engine builder heres a quick list of what I got new gsl-se rotor housings, 86 Na rotors,shaft, 88 turbo side housings, new RX8 stat gears, new oil pump, weber ida, light flywheel, ect....
heres a pic with a dummy block fitting everything
heres a pic of the 79 Rx7 radiator dropped right in and 2 bolts lined up
more pics to come soon

Heres some of the rear suspension adj 4 link panhard bar
rear is from a 80 Supra, posi is a Truetrac
heres the front brakes and coil overs
heres the trans work still had to shorten the shifter housing on the 86 na trans (80 trans in pic didnt use)
Now im just waiting for the motor to be finished. Having a big street port done along with some big oil system changes. Hopefully wont be much longer.

Nice work. Looks great.
I love the motor. I am a fan of the older, less messy 13b's. Short intakes, distributors, simpicity at its finest.
But I am also a big Toyota fan. The 20r was one of the best motors ever.
So this build, to me, is kinda like the people who put a v8 in an RX ; it is cool and all. And sometime they can be done super clean, but in the end . . . you tore out the cars heart.
Super nice car. Great looking motor. everything looks to be done very well.
