Hell yes. I love the early Mark II's, so cool 8)
An angry 18RG or 2TG/3T hybrid would set it off perfectly :D

I would swap an N/A 2jz. Imported motors are cheap & low miles, easy to find parts. Our local yard has 3- SC300's complete with motors (about $290 for motor/wiring/ and all accessories)

Just my opinion- Nice wagon though!

I think the 20r will suit it well, a little more "period correct". That turbo manifold is awesome- the Crazy Octopus!

also was kind enough to fabricate everything.. (Thanks Dan) :tu:

Today my altinator or voltage regulator took a crap. :?
Does any one have a part # on a 1 wire altinator that
would bolt up?

Do the Saturn conversion. It will eliminate your external voltage regulator and up your amps to 95a. You can get one at a j-yard for cheap. Thats what I did (everyone else too) on my 3TC and your alternator looks to have the same mounting pattern. Look here : http://www.3tcgarage.com/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=3086
