I'm planning a 1UZ swap for my 99 Tacoma 2.4L, 2wd, std cab. I've read many of the swaps (mainly 4wd) and they are all slightly different. I just want some expert opinion on what all I need to pull this off. I already have a few questions that haven't been answered yet.
1)Do all the UZ engines share the same bell housing bolt patterns?
2)Is there a piggy back for the ECU to make it work with the stock lexus computer?
3)What would be the best gear ratio for the 1UZ? Which tranny rear combo comes close to this? I want it mainly for spirited street driving and the occasional stop light drag.
4) Can the stock 2.4 liter rear end hold up to the torque of the 1UZ?
5) Front, mid, or rear oil sump?
