The LS manifolds will not clear the upper control arms. The LS oil pan will work but you will have to remove the steering stabilizer and extend...
220k on 1uz is just broken in. Get some sc400 exhaust manifolds. The ls400 oilpan places the engine forward. The valve cover will clear the...
Nice build. So, was the end result worth the effort of the swap? 1uz swaps are not the easiest but I love the end result.
The vent didn't help much as it lead directly to the upper tank on the radiator. My cooling system was already very efficient with the turbo...
That's the thing that made me walk away from the 22rte. It always seemed to be struggling to keep up and constantly on boost (around 5psi) when...
I like what you are doing here
Glad you figured it out. The leaf springs on that old frame could easily be tired. People beat the living hell out of these trucks. That frame...
No problem. I want to see this back on the road as bad as you do.
The fact that you took the torsion bars apart may explain the front drop. Check this thread out. This shows how to drop the front but you want to...
I cant tell from the pics. But, since the frame is used, you don't know if the torsion bars have been adjusted. Just readjust them to your liking....
So, how happy were you with the performance of the engine in your truck. With me, the lack of traction from a dig is frustrating but 3rd/4th gear...
If the frame is as clean as that body, $900 is a great deal even with the bad motor. I paid $1000 for my 87 with a good but disassembled motor 9...
The 3uz electronics are more complicated to wire up. A friend of mine swapped one into an ae86 and some components of the CANs system must be...
Good job! That interior is gonna look great after you complete it. The motor sounds great too. Wish we could line our trucks up at the drag strip.

I don't know if you're already aware of this, shims are used in the upper control arm mount to adjust the camber exactly where you mounted the...
And those wheels are from a starion/conquest. Lol, everything else about this build is spot on though. I am proud of my 1uz swap but you're...
^thanks man. I think it was a 800 series wagon. Maybe 840?
Nice build man. R154 is 5 speed though.
I think the early tacoma would be best. I've really been considering trading my 87 toyota pickup for a clean 5speed first gen 2001-2004...
Separate names with a comma.
