Another 1UZ swap in an 87 SR5.

I am going to include every part bought and every mod done with measurements! I will take pics of all the parts that I have gathered tomorrow! Lets start with a parts list.

First;

The truck is an 1987 SR5 4x4, 5-speed. Already had a blown motor.

The swap kit, easy,

The engine mounts are;

Have also made some motor plates.

The headers are;

These will have to be modified to fit;

The collectors I will be using instead of the flanges are;

The radiator is;

Panel for use for the new circuit!

Fuel pump will be a Walbro 255 in tank!

Now for the plans;

The truck has a 4" Rough Country lift kit and a 2" body lift. Body lift will be removed. 35"x 12.5r15 BFG KM2's on black steel 15x8. I will be rotating the upper intake to allow the use of a Snorkel. Also I will be cutting the front out of the grill not only to allow the ease of install but also to allow me to move the radiator as far forward as I can. I will probably have to modify the steering damper location and the oil pan to get it low enough with body lift removed!

The exhaust will be self made 2.5" Y-pipe to 3" single and the exit will through the side of the bed. I will be using the following wiring schematic with maybe a few enhancements.

More to follow with pics tomorrow!

Some pics of the project so far! Hopefully the work will start next week.

Another engine swap I am doing!

Sorry not of a Toyota but interesting all the same.

Nice looking truck, looks like you have it well planned out, look forward to seeing your progress!

I have done a little studying.

The problem I have found with these swaps is the threads on them are all different and many people have different ways of doing it. That's why with this one I will log every step including wiring and part numbers. So that it can help others. Thanks Rusted, I am going to use the FJ cruiser sandstorm paint and replace the stickers too. I haven't seem too many trucks with this colour and sticker arrangement but that may just be me. I still want to keep it close to original on the paint although it will see rough use!

I start tomorrow!!

I am excited. First I will be cleaning and sorting out the truck. I will also be cutting out the front core support for easy access and modification for the bigger radiator!

A few pics before I start.

Here are some before I started cleaning. Tomorrow I will post the results.

This is going to be cool. Keep the pics coming!

Last one for today!

May the Toyota gods bless your project for keeping it Toyota. Gonna be a beast.

I hate when people put other makes of motors in. I can't wait to post the pics after she was cleaned. Next it's time to mod and paint the engine bay. Then make the engine mounts.

Silly typist He can't type!

I admire your work. If I can afford it I want to buy a few things from you for this project. Keep up the good work. By the way I love your Trekker.
