I just had other priorities to the FD over the past 6 months, like building a shop.

That's exciting news, Tony!
I recently purchased a Tech2 kit and am modeling the components to do some analysis.
If you ever need someone to model, simulate, or provide engineering drawings let me know.
Here are a couple parts I'm throwing together in the assembly.
I just took delivery of the parts yesterday.

yea after using the tech 2 kit i feel that they really half assed it when designing it, which is why we will be completely re-designing from scratch. to allow the hood to clear as well as no bump steer, if u look at the kit closing, its really nothing by straight bars going from one end to the other, it doesnt cradle the engine it just sits it on top of the bars. and i may take u up on the offer on engineering drawings to apply for a patent.

I'd love to see some actual analysis/testing to back up your claims of using the stock hood with no bumpsteer being induced. There is no way to not lower the rack with the engine that low. Not bashing, just looking forward to some discussion on your claims.

With the steering rack unmoved, the engine is directly on top of it with perhaps 1/4" clearance.
If you move the engine further back (into the firewall) you can bring the engine down and clear the crank pulley. (Not something I'd want to do.)
The rack needs about 2" downward with the engine to clear the hood (tight fit).
At that point, it's pretty close to the ground.

Looks really good so far. As for Tech 2, I hate their engine mounts. Hate them, hate them, hate them. The bulge hood looks disgusting. /Rant
So if you guys patent a design which allows a 2jz gte to fit under the stock hood, I'm in!
Once again, project looks great so far!

yea the 2jz sits much higher than the 1jz, you can make the 2jz fit with stock but the motor will be inches off the ground, which to me, its not safe!! and then since the motor is lower, so would be the tranny and the diff will have to come down as well, personally, i dont think its worth it,
