Finally back and out of posting retirement... Engine has been decided for me by my brother. He gave me this brand new 305 GM crate engine in exchange for getting his 3.3L Subaru VW Vanagon Syncro conversion wired and running... Garage is cleaned out and converted back over to working on just the trekker until it is on the road this year. (or at least darn close to it) Now I am trying to decide which engine management system to use for it. Factory throttle body injection controlled by megasquirt or this complete kit... www.summitracing.com/parts/FST-30226-KIT/Seems like the kit will eliminate the trip to the dyno i paid for for the megasquirt conversion i did to my economy VW ride. toyotatrekker.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=otherunits&action=display&thread=122(scroll to the bottom of the post to the dyno pic)

New seats came in Wednesday for it. The blue is not a match for the blue the body is painted, but it is in the same general area at least (crappy cell phone pic does not do the color any favors either)

Not too much accomplished today, but something. geting the transmission ready to take to the rebuild place tomorrow. I know for sure it was popping out of 2nd gear. At least that is what the guy told me when I bought it for $50 a while ago. Transfer case off... Bell housing off... ready for the rebuilder... went to look at this today hoping i could get the rest of the conversion parts in one whack... dallas.craigslist.org/ndf/cto/2872800768.htmlit was an automatic and the guy said he thought the engine might be locked up so I passed. it had a perfect no cracks dashboard though!! I told him if he got desperate and wanted to part it out, to call me. So, I am still looking for the conversion parts and trying to decide on fueling.
