you would be surprised, i have a friend with a 351 winsor infront of a w series manula trans and toyota 8" axles, and short of longs and some knuckle studs he mud races the thing and has only had issues with the carrier bearing in the drive shaft. i was actually surprised how well they hae held...

i was thinking with the tall overdrive in the stock autos a really low gear would be nice and help get off the line good and still cruise at a decent RPM. what were you spinning with the 4.88's and 33's at 65? what is the best RPM for fuel economy at highway speeds?

I am planning a build with a 90 ls400 1uz into an 89 ex cab hilux and i was thinking about what gear size to run with what tire and it started me thinking. from everything i have read people wheeling with auto's always seem to put 5.29's in anything bigger than 33" tires and manuals seem to...

i havent done any 1uz swaps into the older hilux's but i have swapped in a couple fuel injected chevy and fords and i found the early ones are easier becasue all the sensors are mechanical and you just have to find bungs on the motor to thread them into and then all guages will work and then you...

yeah with enough fabrication you could make anything fit. also the chain driven cases that came on the R series and A series transmissions also came with left or right hand drops so you can go either way depending on what you need. I personally perfer the gear driven cases out of the older 4cyl...

i thought they did not go VVTI in the tundras until later than 02? the motor i looked at had a throttle cable hooked to it and it did not look like a VVTI motor. It is either a 2uz or ii have to go back to the chevy thing.....:( here is the build thread for the last truck i built, next one...

i would love a 1uz but up here in alaska not many 2wd v8 powered cars driving around. lots of tundras. i think i can get the 2002 2uz motor tranny, harness and ecu for a grand, then buy the marlin adapter to go to my gear drive case. i think that is a pretty good deal. only 1uz i have found...

here in the US many companies make adaptetrs to put the older gear driver r1a transfer cases on the R150f and a340 which are the strongest of the toyota transfercases and also the easiest to double up or put lower gears in. IIRC the stock a340 and r150 t cases are different

saw this on pirate, looks clean man great work. i got a line on a 2uz i am thinking about putting in my next rig, you are making me think harder about it!

that makes more sense, i was thinking of my 99 f-350 with the 7.3L powerstroke chipped and modded to 300 HP and 500Ft-lbs and wondering how the 1uz kept up with it. it is funny how different areas are searching for different motors... i know alot of ranger fans that would kill for a 4.0L diesel...
