    Millennial anti-theft device! The only reason I have an automatic is because (A) my truck was a gift from my parents, and (B) I didn't know how to drive stick back then; I love driving stick shift!

    Welcome to the forum!

    Keep us updated on progress! I've wanted to put a 1J in something for about 15 years, but never had the time or the $$.

    Are you doing an early or later production 1J? I would think the later VVTI version would be better.
