1UZ into 80 series
Hi I have had the 1UZ fitted to my 60 series and used the original manual gearbox.
A new bell housing was purchased from Dellow Automotive in Sydney.
The gear box was brought forward as the engine would not go back far enough. This was no big deal, the front drive shaft was shortened and the rear lenghtened.
The engine fan was tossed and an electric one fitted to the radiator.
This conversion should be easy enough in an 80 series and you could check with Dellow if they do an adaptor for the auto.
more smiles per mile with 1UZ. Cheers.
