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 sticking points / areas of interference;
2. is a rear sump 1UZ compatible with the stock engine cradle;
3. which (manual) trans can/cannot be readily used in the Volvo;
4. other required parts to make it work;
5. electrical/ECU/wiring "gotchas"...
Trying to avoid reinventing the wheel I suppose.
Thanks gents
