Comeon you must give us more information than that mate....

How much cutting was required?
What trans you using?
Has it been engineered....

What is required with this swap...

ok no cutting bending welding or "molding" so far
i am howeven gunna massage the ribbing in the walls to alow the motor to rock a little
teh ex maifolds are oon it at the moment
im goi=ng to use the e53 trans
and modd the bell flange to allow the driveshaft to pass though
ive looked in to this extensively and feel that this can happen
im going to use a electric water pump to shorten the motr
and a bleive once the front is done the motor will only be 3-4 inches furter across than the 4age in where the flywheel sits
the engine also sits on the orignal centre of the 4age

next weekend i will be making the mounting so all going well by the end of the weekend the motor will be bolted in

just need to find a iuz bell to cut the flange off now

cheers fop your time guys and thanks for the positive support

You may want to check where the water pump is on the motor.
Its not at the very front.

 

[vvega]

its the snout of the pump im refering too
at the moment that its the furtherest forward item
thanks for your thought though

The water pump runs off the cam belt. The snout at the very front can be removed without effecting anything.

 

[vvega]

the engineer will be here tomorrow wendsday to go though my process to be sure hes happy with it then its all go till he needs to come inspect again
ive found previously if there involved from the word go they normally do a few tests and rubber stamp it as they feel they have a in depth involvment
in nz our laws seem to be considerably more lax than austrailia or the us

[Peewee]

As above, you phyiscally cannot do anything with the waterpump.

like a 3sge??
arhh so thats purely a idler ??
and has no real function ??
that would make it considerably easyier

thanks peewee as well
you have both saved a bit of hassel

[Cobra]

Purely an idler. If your motor is from a Crown it also has the fan bolted to it. The only thing that runs it is the fanbelt

 

[vvega]

i have yet to strip a 1uz down so internally wise i have no idea whats in there
i belive there a 6 bolt mains and have been told they wil rev to 7000 rpm with no real hassel .. though they make no more power doing so

4k's ,3sgte's and 4ages are my forte with toyota engines

this poject is more about doing what has been said cant be done rather than a exercise in been power hungry

sould it all work out well i see no reason why a turbo can not be added later to make it more interesting

cool so do you think the bolts that hold it on..i assume its detachable would be suitable for fitting a front stablising mount to ???
what size are the bolts ???
thanks for this help it has been great so far
would pictures of the removal of this stuff help for your referance at all forum wise
im sure i wont be the last one to ask questions like this

oh and yes had a fan attached to it
so no hydrolic drive as with the soarers ?

if this is so is it any indication as to the power output or the year of manufacture of this motor ??

thanks again

Probably an early Crown 91/92 putting out around 250HP on a good day.

I think the water pump you are thinking of is actually the hydraulic fan pump and the solanoid sticks out quite far. you can just take this off but it exposes your cambelt. I kept the housing off my pump but machined it back so i can fit and electric pull fan...I will post a pic or a link...see if this works

so your just round the corner

mine definatly had a viscous fan on the front of it i pulled the viscous unit off

250 hp @ wheels or motor ???
thats not a bad figure to start with now is it
