1uz sump mod into LN130 surf

[dannyboy77]

hi chaps

getting to the stage of the transpant were need to look at getting things modified to fit in the engine bay. has anyone a picture or drawing of a modified sump for the 1uz so it fits in the LN130 surf. i havent body lifted it just have a suspension lift on it. is it worth putting a body lift on or not?

i think a body lift is worth it much more room to play with then

thanks for that. looks like fabrication is the only way!

on the subject of body lift in what way does it give you room to play? and can it be done without?

for me having a solid axle model it made room for my oilfilter (mines a crown engine so has factory remote mount setup) it also allowed me to lift my gearbox approx 90 odd mm's which inturn let me lift my engine and move it back 35mm so my radiator would fit in
other advantages was for my tyres lol and to let me put the shock hoops in and a host of other wank suspension gear lol

theres a few other little minor things it helps with but each to there own theres plenty of them geting aroud without a bodylift

cheers
