I'm getting ready to swap a 1uzfe into my 4x4 truck. The engine will be coming out of a 93' Lexus sc400 and going into an 84' Toyota pickup. The truck currently has a 22re and W56 transmission, solid front axle, high steer, and a 4 1/2 inch leaf spring lift. This will be the most extensive mechanical work I have ever done even though everyone says it's an easy swap.
I plan on using the bellhousing off of the Lexus in combination with my W56 trans. I've heard lots of people saying this transmission will be fine, and lots of people saying it won't. Would love to hear from some people who run this set-up and how it works. I've heard that I can mount the Lexus fuel pump into my tank and use the pickups stock sending unit. I've also heard the trucks stock pump will be fine. I've also heard I should just go ahead and upgrade the pump to an aftermarket. Any thoughts? I was originally going to try to cut/beat the sc400 radiator into the truck, but I recently heard that the trucks stock radiator will be fine to handle the V8. Thoughts? I will be modifying the sc400 headers by cutting off the 3bolt flange and replacing with a 2bolt so it clears the frame rails. Will I need to do an EGR delete or is that just personal preference? I'm also a bit hesitant on the wiring. I havnt found any straight forward diagrams that specifically explain what to do. I've spent countless hours reading threads and write-ups and all of them are typically vague or speaking as though I should be an expert in engine wiring to understand. Can anyone point me in the direction of some good diagrams that show what is necessary to get the engine running well? I'm trying to do this swap as easily and cheaply as possible. Any help from you guys is much appreciated.
