I'm in the process of swapping a 1UZ from a 1996 SC400 into a Subaru (w/ a manual gearbox). Is the original SC400 instrument cluster needed in order for this engine run and run properly? Nothing I see in the wiring diagrams (or in searches here) indicates that the cluster is required, but...

I'm in the process of retrofitting a 1UZ midships into a Subaru Brat (aka Brumby). It's mated to an Audi 012 (aka Porsche G86) manual transaxle. The donor is a 1996 SC400. I have the complete car, down to every last wire and sensor and nut and bolt. I have the factory wiring diagrams. The...

There's a really ugly SC400 locally that I want to check the compression on, but the car doesn't have a harness. Can I borrow your SC400 harness? I'll buy the harness if the engine turns out good. If the engine's bad, well, I won't need the harness. Then again, if the harness is cheap or...

EDIT: Lots of inquiries for pics, so here they are. It has been stored in a garage in (dry) southern CA. All connector shells sealed with tape for protection. Hello guys I have a complete engine/transmission/ecu/harness/accessories (sans a/c), plus complete intake/MAF/airbox assembly...

With the numerous stories about headaches with CRS and Dellow bellhousings I'm hesitant to go that route just yet. If anyone is using the 1uzquadcam bellhousing I'd like to read your impressions on fitment, casting and machining quality, service, etc. I've tried to reach the gents (Tony and...

Hello gents, I'm having trouble locating LS400 half-cuts in Los Angeles area. If you are savvy and wouldn't mind pointing me in the right direction I would appreciate it (PMs here are fine too), thanks. I'm open to using a complete wrecked car too if halfcuts turn out to be nonexistent...

The VVTi engines came with a drive by wire throttle, but had a cable for back-up / redundancy. Two questions. Does the existing throttle body on the VVTi engines easily allow for use of the cable alone? It seems that this would be mandatory in any swap project. Especially if the swap involves...

From what I can determine, this swap has been done in Aus/NZ at least a few times... here in the US the 1UZ is barely discovered. Great site here, so I'm hoping there's help available. Really just the standard 1UZ swap questions, as they pertain to a late '80s Volvo 245: 1. major...
