if you cut that SP310, i'll have to hurt you, i'm afraid.
they're worth about $10,000 AUS here in that kind of condition - it really only needs a good clean!
please, restore it - don't chop it. if it were beyond salvage then yeah, i'd say you could do it if you remove the inner guards and convert to rack and pinion. but PLEASE! dont.

Looks pretty narrow in there, RB26 probably fit.
But must agree with the lads, it would be going against rule no1 of the code, thow shalt not cut up rare vehicles. Unless you really want to of course.

Very rare and a lot of work, especially if there similar floor pan to a datsun 140/160 etc which im assuming they are
I just did a clutch on my mates 160j violet...(btw, never again) theres hardly enough room for the standard bellhousing...
Personally id find something else to use as a base as these are too rare to butcher, but its your choice and would be awesome

Yeah... i can get one for about $850 obo locally.....
You know, this gets me thinking. It'd be worth it for someone to see what misclaneous items are rare in the states vs. down under. It'd be great to send a shipping container down with Cheap 1UFZEs, datsuns and what not and bring back some cool Ausie and /or Kiwi stuff.
I have an uncle who used to ship a Caddilac a year to Sweden. He'd then vacation on the profits from the sale and get a free vacation.

Kreb,
Australia has one of the worlds best stocks of older cars due to our weather (dry in most parts), the high cost of importing the vehicles and Australian's buying up early classic US iron.
We have thousands of early Mustangs, Vettes etc down under. They are usually in better condition than yours and are actually quite reasonably priced.
When you look at old race cars we were the last stop on the race calendar (forgetting NZ which is pretty easy) joking KIWIS! and the cars were usually sold off to save shipping them back to Europe. The teams would build/buy new cars with the proceeds of the sale and the funds saved in return shipping. For this reason we ended up with a lot of rare toys.
Your 1UZ's are cheap but after shipping no chaeper than ours. The cheapest I've heard of was agood clean engine for $350 or US$260.00. Engines aside I don't think there's much we need on the Lexus front. Performance parts such as gaskets, studs, oil coolers etc from the likes of Summit, ARP etc are hard to get at reasonable prices but we can get most stuff we want off the net.
