Hm, should I offer maybe $1500?

"130,000 miles. Loaded. Hit in rear. Driveable. Good title. As is: $3,800" I just want the engine, would there be a profit for me if I got the car and parted it out?

Just an evil evil thought I had. Possible? The axles would need to be replaced and it would take a wildcat transmission along with a fabbed hood,

I didn't mean that I would be shooting for 600BHP, I would want around 400. The turbos would be running a conservative amount of boost, probably 5 psi. I would want this to stay a pump gas vehicle that still has some fuel economy. Forged pistons + rods combo would add some more to the...

Anyone? =p

High volume fuel pump, fuel pressure regulator, larger injectors, autolite plugs. Alternator would be swapped out for a larger one if necessary, don't need the one in the lextreme store when I won't be using standard mount points. Header flanges from the store with custom made headers to fit...

Heeheehee, you're gonna keep the 1uzfe down low from all the guys on GD.com who think they need a LS1 or better to get it done, right subie? ;) I want my 'UZI' to be unique..

Wow, thanks for the info. If it'll kill the transmission, then that's a no go. Australia has a favorable exchange rate so I might want to buy something and have it shipped here.. http://www.offroadracing.com.au/classif0205/spcou.htm if I can find one for around that price, it's a plan.

That's a great looking LT! Looks like I'm not the only one who would rather go in the woods and wildlands than sand dunes. Any advice when the time comes to fit a 1U into a VW trans (I'm thinking a T4 might be strong enough) will be greatly welcome.. rear engine placement might get tricksy...

I've been googling enough that I'm thinking of signing up as one of their "search consultants" specializing in offroad buggies. ;) the one thing that has me worried is transmission and gearbox. what's a "s/h", not familiar with that abbreviation? and the one useless cosmetic thing (on the...

Might have to stick a broken VW engine in it when I trailer it to the DMV.. I believe in my state vehicles under 1500lbs can be street legal without fenders.. I'd better be prepared to gut an entire Toyota for this, right? Because I've read that even on cheap donor engine swaps, you end up...

I really want to replicate that build to the best of my abilities.. so rear mount is my only choice. Might result in a lot of wheelies, though. ;\

I'm looking to sell some more space on my server.. rates are reasonable but not that 0.99 cents per thousang gigabyte stuff you see on a host that vanishes in two months. Pm me with inquiries.

Nice frame! I'm definitely going to get an 1UZFE if I can find one. Does anyone have any advice for getting them used, such as from a wreck? I've searched through the forums a few times on this but I'll try harder after making this post. What do you guys think of nitrous for this project...

I came here because I want to see if that statement on getting a 'previously loved' Lexus V8 for 300 dollars or so is possible with some junkyard detective work. Looks like I'll be staying, once I can get one, to learn about how to make it perform. You're serving a niche that is very...
