Hey gents! I am very pleased to have found this forum. I have been looking around a great deal and am think I may have fond the spot to get some good solid information and assistance.
I am considering a swap on my Range Rover due to the fact that the bottom end of the 4.2 that I have is getting on a bit. It has new heads and ancillaries but I would like to get my ducks in a row for something that is more efficient and has more going for it.
I have a bit of experience with swaps and a great network of machinists and prototype experts that can help with things if I run into a problem with fabrication.
I am wondering if there is anyone that might have done the swap on my type of vehicle and if they have any pictures that aren't already posted here. I found the swap into the right drive 2 door with a manual that is posted here and while that looks to be a very nice job I am hoping to use an automatic (either the Rover or the Toyota/Lexus box) mated to an LT230 transfer case. Mine is also a four door and left drive (This leaves me to believe that I may be able to get away with not changing the alternator location).
I am hoping that I might be able to have some dialogue with anyone that might have some insight.
Questions that I have right now:
-Is there a suitable automatic box that bolts up to the 2UZFE (Tundra tranny maybe?) that I can get solid performance and reliability from?
-Will it mate up to the LT230 t-case?
-Are there any electronic issues with this vehicle (I know, insert appropriate Lucas jokes here) and the 2UZFE and toy/lex trans?
-What is the output of the alternator (I have dual batteries, lights, inverter, camping accessories etc)?
-What is the weight of the 2UZFE? I found the 1UZ info but not the 2UZ.
Thank you in advance for your patience and time. Any help or info you provide will be hugely appreciated.
Cheers
Ken
