What about a 2uz? They where fitted to the 100 or 105 series landcruiser here in OZ?

Spoke to dellows and they do a kit to mount the 1uz to gq 4.2L 5speed gearbox. Flywheel is their standard 1uz one (around $350au) which I think uses a v6 commodore pressure plate. The kit also uses a belhousing with provision to use the standard clutch slave. This was around $650au Cheers...

That would be great if you could. I had a look through their catalouge and there is only adapters etc to go to toyota boxes but sounds like it may be worth giving them a call.

I didn't realise I had pm's turned off. I am on leave till mid next week and will have a go at getting it out for you when I get back.

Is the auto drive plate the flex plate? If you can't find one locally I should be able to pull the one off my burnt out engine if it is any good

Try ringing around places that do intercooler installs, they will generally have short lengths they will let go for cheap or beers.

Not sure waht year, the guy I bought them off didn't know the year of the burntout one. Is there a way to tell like something stamped on the box?

I have an auto gearbox out of a Toyota soarer the was burntout. The box does'nt look like it has gotten very hot but some of the plastic plugs are melted/deformed. Free to anyone who wants to come and pick it up otherwise I will take it to the scrap yard next time I am there. Pick up...

what about using one of the commercially available flywheels and using a 2.8d patrol clutch disk, hydraulic thowout bearing, standard 1uz bellhousing and make up an adapter plate to go from bellhousing to gearbox? Patrol clutch disc is 240mm (9 1/2 inches) diameter and has the same spline...

Yeah, just have to keep an eye out - there was awhole engine and loom ecu and auto that didn't sell on ebay in Mayfield. Also seen plenty of ls400 go for around 2K

I can't wait to hear more about that one :D

Great find!!!

I would definatly talk to Athol then, he has certified a few 1uz's into hilux's and 4 runners and he said it is no problems to pass, didn't even need to upgrade brakes from memory. I am still uming and arhing about manual or auto. I really want manual but it is much cheaper and easier to go...

I am using a guy called Athol Mullen in Newcastle, he is fairly pedantic but know his stuff and even though I may not be able to do everything I want I know I will end up with a car that is 100% road legal and won't have any trouble with the plod or more importantly insurance. I know that in...

Great (or simple) minds think alike, it is great to hear I am on the only one crazy enough to think up ideas like this and you have chosen if for pretty much the saem reasons. I am also looking at cheaper blower options and will see how the car goes once up and running without but if I feel it...

I know at least in the land of OZ there are manual 2uz landcruisers - they either came with the R151 or H151 manual gearboxes, can't remember which one. Bellhousing is a funky 2 piece job not sure what the flywheel is but they do exist. Knowing Toyota though it would probably be cheaper to get...

Any other ideas or should I just stick with the tried and tested toyota r series boxes? The other thing I would have to sort out is the handbrake if using the toyota box as the patrol has a transfer case mounted handbrake. There are a few aftermarket options but it is another cost and I would...

no idea about the hilux one but a common upgrade is the one from an 80series landcruiser

Awesome mounts, what bushes did you use?

the nissan v8's are a bit too wide for the hilux body I think - also cost alot more than the 1uz and not as common so I imagine a bit harder to get parts for if I am too far from home and I would love the 6lt but no way can I pay for one of those with my budget build. From an aesthetics point I...
