Lexus 1uzfe (4.0 V8) swap?

sardi55 · 02-14-2008, 06:56 PM

well i already posted this on mud but wanted to know what everyone here thought. I am contemplating building an fj60 landcruiser for my trail rig, one problem though is that they are all either carbed or as in the fj62 just plain slow. I don't want to do a Chevy small block because i like the idea of having a Toyota engine in there, and diesel seems really exspensive. The great thing about the 1uzfe(4.0 V8) is that they are reliable,powerful,good gas mileage, and cheap to find used oh and did i mention fuel injection and on some even VVTI. Any input as to how this can be done or if it has ever even been attempted in a 60 series cruiser before would help.

I moved your question to the "Other Toyota Swap" section of YT. Might get more eyes that way.

If no answers turn up, try this board as well.
