1uz 4runner swap

Hey all, Just bought a 4runer that has been 1uz swapped already. I'm going to transplant it into my solid axel ln106. 1) anyone have any pics of a solid axeld 1uz swap? How's the clearance?? 1.5) I've seen things about engine mounts and mounting the engines higher, how does that work and does...

Here's the Truck: IMG_52134495177976 by Numbchux, on Flickr I've had this thing for about 10 years. Bought it with a blown 22RTE (loose drain plug after oil change), put a 22RE in it which had been really poorly maintained and blew a head gasket. I decided I wanted more power, so about 8 years...

I am just about complete and thought I would share some pictures and info. This is my second swap, first one was a '91 Ls400 1UZ into a 2001 4Runner. Sold the 3.4 engine for $1100 with all the wiring to a guy replacing his 3.0. Bought a 1998 LS400 for $500 and started making my motor mounts...

I have been looking around and there seems to be a number of these trucks running around with finished swaps. But I cannot find anything with information on which headers were used and problems that were run into. Quite a few 4runner pages but I don't think much of that is going to transfer...

I'm at the stage of my swap in my 84 4runner to get the cooling situated. I have read some many different things out there about cooling setups and how it can be a tricky part of the swap to get right as well. What have you guys done in a similar vehicle that is working well for you? I'm trying...

Well, I'm lining up all my ducks to get started on this. The truck will be in the garage for a teardown likely next week some time. Plans are: SAS (haven't decided between FJ80 axles or just a Toy/Hilux front just yet) R150 v6 transmission 1uz from an SC400 (pretty much have access to...

Our local pullapart yard had a 91 ls400 come in the other day so I grabbed everything I could think of. Ok here's what I got off my donor car, the smaller ecu is for abs so ignore that These are the plugs on my engine harness. I'm pretty sure these go to ecu And them theres these...

ok so im liking this way to much .. so my wife says :) picked up another 1988 4runner 3.0 auto , blow head gasket otherwise in great shape . Donor transmission off a 1995 T-100 3.4 auto. modified the steering stabilizer and e-brake bracket

ok so ive started on another swap .. we were waiting for the 3.0 to sell , finally did so now onto this swap. So the owner of this truck wants to try and do this with out a body lift , so well be lowering the front diff and modifing the sc oil pan . wants to try and keep a/c and cruise control...

I've be looking and looking for info on this swap. Every body says its a pretty easy swap but i'm having a hard time finding any body who has done a good write up on it. I have a small window of about 3 months before my first baby is born and I want to make my rig more reliable. I have just some...

Looking for a complete swap for my 4Runner. Preferably out of an LS400. Looking for sub 150K engines with an uncut harness, all accessories, ECU and a transmission in good shape. Can pick up within a 500 mile radius of Phoenix! Thanks!

I have lost interest for long enough that I think it's time to see if someone else would be interested in finishing this thing. I searched for a long time for a 22RE 2nd gen 4runner and could not find one for a reasonable price, so I bought this rust free 92 with the intentions of doing a 22RE...

i am new to all this but i am wanting to get a V8 for my car and i want to know how much it will cost before i go and buy the engine. i have a 2.4l diesel, with all stock engine, trans and suspension. will i need to upgrade my gearbox and transfer case or will it handle the extra power? will...

here is some pics of the uz swapI am doing, the block I am using to get the mounts made is a VVTI block and the engine I am using a normal nonvvti engine- however there are size differences to be considerd in the mounts between the 2 because of the head height diff. bad v6 good v8...

I'm going to be getting a 94 SC400 with 106k miles, engine runs and sounds really good. I'm going to part the rest of the car out but there isn't much left. The big question I have right now is, What all do I need off of the SC400 to get the 1UZ to run right? I know I need the ECU and the wiring...

I own a 91' 4Runner with a stock 3.0 V6, but considering the engine size, it burns too much gas and has very little power. So, now I am looking to swap out the 3.0 to the Lexus 1UZFE. What kind of adaption kit am I going to need for this kind of swap? Where can I find a 1UZFE? What kind of labor...

Hey guys, I followed Cebby here from yotatech. My 3.0 turd V6 gave out on me for the 3rd time, so it's time for a swap. I have a 94 4runner 4x4 that I'm planning to engine and soild axle swap at the same time. I plan to keep as much of the running gear as I can... so like my...
