drive it like usual till you get your LS motor done and then just do the swap, and sell your good running 1uz to a swapper to make up some of your swap cost! You won't get more than a couple Jacksons for a blown up core, but you could sell the pullout running for way more than that.

Did this ever run? We did pretty much the same build in the first part of 2006, and it had problems. I offset ground a stock crank to the 1.88" rods and 3.575" stroke and used the same cadillac wet sleeves in your picture only cut down a bit to fit the 1uz block. They were bored out to fit...

Does anyone here do any kind of motor builds? or do they just rock stock motors?

So, zero posts by me, and the only reason I signed up here was to research the 1uz a little bit from having a customer bring one in and want me to do a hotrod build on it. one of his 1uz rods was broke, his block was cracked from having overheated, and he lost the cam caps off of his heads. I...
