Hey all,
Bit of a reminder first - offroad in Aus was looking to change engine sizes, most likely to 4.0ltr due to the availability of cheap engines so we jumped the gun, took a gamble and picked up the 1UZ - then they set the rule to 3.5Ltr...
After considering destroking to 3.5 weve decided not to go that way - revs are nice, but more mix in a bigger chamber equals more tq, so we're gonna run the 1UZ for state based racing, and a 3MZ for national events where the biiiig $$$ guys are and we couldnt compete in that class with the 1UZ.
Question time...
1. do the 3MZ and 1UZ share the same bolt pattern for the bellhousing?
2. Ive googled and there's not much info on 3MZ - anyone know much about the M series engines?
3. Anyone know where I could pick one up in Aus without having to import it specially?
There'll be more to come!
