    2nd gen LS400 questions

    1UZ questions

    Hello UZ-fans ! I have some questions about the 1UZ engine. We bought a LS 400 (1996)with engine code UCF 20 (we also have a 3UZ (2004 LS430) block that is currently being built to handle 1000hp, so 2 projects :-)). Questions: - The engine code UCF20 means that we have the "weaker" rods, right...
