Signal Red 74 1/2 Triumph TR-6 recieving a 96 1UZ transpant
was originally working towards a 72 Buick 455 big block mated to a WC T5 trans, but like the way the 1UZ works in my 92 SC400 so much I've made a wholesale shift (oh god, what am I doing...) and decided to abandon my wild 455 build (500/500) and go with the 1UZ instead. A Nissan R230 3.73 LSD is going into the rear, and I'm hoping to get another 1" or 2 wider on the rear wheels without tubbing the body or modifying the trailing arms to help get power to the ground.

Motor/trans with intake, exhaust, engine and trans wiring harnesses were transported home yesterday. Next step is to get the motor started up and see what I've gotten myself into. Looking for a fuel pump.
Current needs:
- Trying to cobble together a schematic for the minimum wiring necessary to start this lump up
- have found links to the remote oil filter adapter plate, the EGR blockoff plates, and exhaust flanges for the custom headers to clear the tight engine bay confines here on the site
- continue pestering Lextreme for a 36-1 trigger wheel to get Megasquirt box into the mix.
- Megasquirt GPIO board logic for standalone A340E transmission control, will probably need to flesh this out myself using Lance's
- figure out a serpentine belt config for a 1UZ without A/C, Powersteering or hydraulic cooling
- get the alternator relocated up higher to clear the narrow frame
- confirmation that the stock rear sump will fit between the narrow frame rails
- work up a shifter solution, maybe an paddle shifter on the wheel using solenoids is do-able.
stay tuned...
