well the suspension and axles are finally done.. so i went and got another thing to dump money into..





questions are, 5spd or keep my auto? what adapters/trans? and where to get headers and adapters and what not!

here is what its going in.








incase you are wondering whats already done..

i have dual cases with marlins 3.4/2.7 adapter, first case is 23 spline 2.28's second case is 23 spline with 4,7's. rear axle is a gm 14blt with 5.13s and a detroit, front is pass drop kingpin 60 with arb and 5.13's, custom made rear bumper and arb front with hella lights. using arb compressor, allpro front springs with procomp shocks, rear is chev 63's with bilstiens.

for those who dont know my build thread for the runner is on here and ill update that also as i go!

any input is appreciated!!

 

been up all night researching stuff for my 1uz swap! looks like its gonna be pretty simple compared to what i thought!! just looked down and seen that its 4:00 a.m.. i feel like a crack head!! (hyped up on gummy bears and mtn dew! learned alot but now its time to go to sleep!!!

 

subscribed! These swap jobs always reel me right in! Im hoping to do a diesel swap into my 99 runner sometime in the future

 

Should be starting on it this week!

 

Flop a 5 spd in there. Sub'd too!

 

No go on the 5spd. Bell adapters are WAY to much. And I ended up liking my auto offroad more then I thought I would.

 

Subscribed. Definiely use the Lex auto. There are some great write-ups on transmission things on uzswap.com.

What year motor are you using? I plan on doing this someday so it will be fun to watch a 3rd Gen get built.

 

did you find an adapter from the lex auto to the gear driven cases?

 

I'm running my 4runners auto because its the same as the lexus.. the 1uz planitary gears oil pump and bell housing all bolted right to mine. The 4runner trans is adapted to gear driven dual cases using marlins "tacoma" gear driven case adapter. front case was converted to 23 spline and rear case is 23 spline with 4.7s

Anywhoo. Update is that I pulled the 3.4 out and sold it. Made the tranny ready to bolt to the 1uz and cleaned the whole frame up. I had the 1uz sitting in it for fitment and boy do I like the way it looks. I drilled my radiator support off to make it waaaay easier and for one other BIG reason as soon as I get the tacoma done for my customer I'm gonna go crazy on it and get it done.. I'm waaaaay excited!

 

Nice swap u have going on there!

Thanks man

 

k so the engine is finally MOUNTED in!! made the motor mounts and everything.. so now im having trouble finding the wiring pinouts for the body harness for the lexus or the 4runner, if anyone has diagrams thatd be awesome!!!

 

i need wiring diagram pinouts for the three dash harness plugs on the 1uz motor and the three dash harness plugs for a 1999 toyota 4runner. the motor is out of a 1990 lexus ls400 once again i need the pinouts for the three plugs that come off the engine harness of both, 99 4runner and 90 lexus ls400..

if someone can get me these quick id be extremely happy! i have everything ready to go except the wiring and i cant wait to hear it run!

thanks in advanced.

Dylan.

 

anybody?

 

I am gonna be watching this intently since I am looking to do this swap into a 1995 or older tacoma with an A750F transmission and tcase. I wish I Could help but I am looking for the same information.

 

go to my build thread link!! ive got most the wiring figured out now, hoping to hear it fire today!!!

 

its finally alive!!!!



you gotta click the pic!

whooo!

 

Right on!

 

im super excited to finish it up!!

 

great looking 4runner man !!

a question on the tranny.. so you just switched the bell,oil pump,planetary gears..... or did you switch the valve body also? why not just the valve body?
im in the middlle of a swap and am using the A343f and wondering if i could just swap the valve body only.. dont know much about trannies but im hopeing i could just do that ,switch the valve body....doi really need to switch over all the guts along with the valve body. everything looks to be the same .
