Mind you If I could find a 98 on halfcut with a VVTI 1UZ-FE for less than 3 grand I'd be doing the later model unit for sure....... But I don't think that will be happening any time soon..... Cheers Ian

Peewee The info I have from an engineer here in Newcastle is that the emission controls need to be the same if not better than my current setup. This doen't necessarily mean that I have to put in a later model motor. If I can prove that a 1993 model Crown or LS400 motor (for example) has the...

Thanks for replying Shuey and Tmiller, I haven't really fleshed out the intricacies of using the auto, like physical placement, adaptor boxes, where the shifter will end up in the cab, propshaft lengths etc. From what I understand the W56 will handle the extra bits and pieces that the 1uzfe...

Twisty Just remember to stay away from the high pressure washer, no matter how tempting it seems. Ian

Russ, thank you. Wiring diagrams would be great. How will you send them? If I could pick up a half cut for $1500, whew! would make it even more achieveable. What sort of mileage did your halfcut have? You say you sold your 2.7, where to, local wreckers or someone you knew wanted one? This...

G'day Russ I too am newby to forum, am looking at dropping a 1uz-fe into a 98 Prado. Mine has same 2.7 as yours but is backed by a 5 speed manual (W56). Am keen to follow your progress, have not committed dollars yet, but 2.7 is blowing a bit of smoke and this is the family hack as well, so...
