So.... what DIDN'T the car have that the LS400 did? What did you need to modify in the harness to get the engine to not care about the missing items?

I'm not worried about it EVENTUALLY running well... I'm concerned about the "voodoo" work required to get the harness to work in an old vehicle that does not have all of the "stuff" the LX470 had....

UPDATE: I have: 2004 Lexus LX470 2UZ with full harness H151 manual 5 speed transmission that WAS hooked up to a 2UZ, along with the bellhousing etc etc, and the ECU/harness from the 2UZ it was on. Looking for input on a wiring solution to get this to run. I am thinking a Spitronics or...

Did you ever get anywhere with this? I am looking to join a 2UZ with an H150 5 speed manual tranny and your work here might help me out... mark

I have a line on an H150 and transfer near-ish to me. it is set-up currently to bolt to a 3F I’m told. It has a 10 spline input shaft. There is the bell housing plus a (approx 5/8” thick) adapter plate (that wasn’t pictured) that goes between it and the block. The transmission output is 10...

Looking for a 2UZ [Land Cruiser, Tundra, Sequoia or 4Runner (prefer LC)] that is trashed/rolled/rear-ended and/or rusted looking to donate its 2UZ to my 1966 FJ45LV project. The closer to Metro NY the better. Thanks, Mark

Are the sump pans interchangeable or are they dictated by the engine? I saw one build where the pan had to be modified to allow for the axle housing - not a deal breaker if that is a viable solution. How would one determine the need for a specific pan format short of hanging an engine in the...

Thanks for the perspective. The next part of the question I guess is: Are any of the various flavors of 1U and 2U any "easier" or "harder" to use for a swap? At what point do I start to have to deal with more complicated (or more expensive to solve) wiring/sensor issues?

No dunes, no mud bogs, no rock crawling.... Street, highway, towing, hills, maybe the occasional dirt road. I guess my concern is: is the LV too heavy for the motor? Is it the cam of the 1 vs 2 that makes the 2 the truck/suv motor?

Are you saying it will be ok on the road but NOT on the trail? The truck will be running 33" tires and I have a choice of diff gearing (and tranny to some extent) to keep things in balance.

Not mine (I wish) but this is a 45LV

The 1966 FJ45LV is a wagon style Land Cruiser - quite a bit larger than an FJ40. I am looking to build a nice running street/highway/expedition vehicle with enough power to tow a decent sized cargo or camping trailer. I'm geeked to try a 1UZ or 2UZ swap but I am getting some mixed info on what...
