2UZ into 1991 Landcruiser

[SuperRunner]

Picked up a 91 FJ80 last night with a broken motor. Turns out the crankshaft broke between #1 and #2.

I decided to drop in the 2UZFE VVTi v8 motor and keeping the stock auto.


Lets just say, the 3F motor is one of the harder engines to pull. I would hate to put this heavy hunk of iron back in. It would have made things a bit easier if Toyota would have made a two piece fan shroud! Took me about 3 1/2 hours to get the thing out of there, and by my standard, that was way too long. I did spend a bit of timing removing components I won't be needing anymore.

^ should have tig welded this too, my mig on thin walled tubing SUCKS!!

My tig welds on the x-pipe look much better.

Here is a video of the running cruiser.

YouTube - Toyota V8 FJ80 Landcruiser

Shorty headers with true dual 2 1/2" mandrel exhaust. Two cats which then lead to an X-pipe then to dual 44 series flowmaster.

No tailpipe yet so it will mellow out a little.

And the finished product

What tranny did you use?

 

[SuperRunner]

Ended up using a 2005 A750 5 speed auto tranny. Very nice transmission.

 

[Mike Shull]

That trans/transfer has a centered rear output right?

Did you change out your rear axel?

 

[SuperRunner]

Got it out of a LX470 and my stock t-case bolts right up. 2010 cruisers and LX's still use off-set rears. Strange I know.

 

[Mike Shull]

Yes strange but good to know!

Cool setup...watched the youtube's.

 

[Thermactor]

are those the ebay headers?

 

[SuperRunner]

yup, but cut and welded to the vvti flanges. PITA
