Time to just order some new parts and freshen the motor up...maybe while I'm at it, I should throw in a fish...who knows!

 

[JamesN]

No problem Tony. Anytime man. Just get the car running properly first then throw in the fish and make some noise.

 

[Lextreme II]

My turn next... we should able to do in 2 minutes flat. LOL

I'll break your record by 1:59 minutes. I'm the one with the red bucket and I love it. It's 1 of the vital tools in this job. You can stand on it, sit on it, and you can dump your stuffs in it, too...LOL

LOL, the whole time, I was worried my slaves, I mean help, would get tired and not want to work anymore.

I fed them Doughnuts/coffee/gatorade...

The party will continue when the beast is breathing...hopefully with some FI...

 

[Lextreme II]

Yeah we gotta do the BBQ and BEER deal when the White Princess up and running.

I completely agree...BBQ creates energy and Beer creates intelligence.

did you swap it with another v8?

 

[stevechumo]

did you swap it with another v8?

Yep. I believe it's a 97 1UZFE with low mileage.

Whos car? Also why did the front end/bumper and headlight come off?

Whos car? Also why did the front end/bumper and headlight come off?

SC engine is normally longer then an average car andmost cherry pickers are not long enough to clear the bumper. Since Mr. AcleanSC has AC body kit so we dont want to scratch it. I think this is the easiest way to take out a 1UZFE.

To remove the engine:
Bottom: ( 10 minutes)
* Exhaust (2 screws each side)
* Shift Linkage
* Tranny mount (8 screws)
* No need to remove the driveshaft. The slip on piece will come out with the engine.

Inside: (30 minutes)
* ECU plugs

Outside: (1 hour)
* Radiator and hydraulic fan
* Heater hoses
* Ground wires
* Ingnitor plugs and fuse plugs
* Tran cooler lines
* Fuel lines
* AC Lines
* Powersteering hoses

Less then two hours you can get the whole thing out.

We should have a competition for the engine swap. At the race tracks, they have the competition for those who change the tires quickest.
