The 1UZFE EGR Delete Kit is available for sale here.
I'm currently just using a cheap ebay 6-puck copper-ceramic clutch and remanufactured Toyota PP. It is the F1 Racing Clutch Stage 3 set. Good for getting everything sorted. I'll eventually pull it out and replace it with something better. For now it is meeting my needs.
well with the tunnel
if u can compare the toyota manual with the nissan manual gbox then u might have some giude
on my 1600 a normal fj20 or an rb20 manual 5 speed fits with not many probs
gettting to top bellhousing bolts will be a pain
i would first measure the width between strut towers on a 1600
should fit
but id hate to do any minor mechanical work on it
and u will prob have to mount a thin radiator maybe a pulsar type
and thermos on the front
id go sr20 any day over a 3s
heaps more good bits
anyway y fit a 1uz why not an ls2 or ls3
we just finished afew of these ls2s into cobras
350 rkws with a decent cam and tune normally apserated

good work.
i think a plane ticket to get you over here for that type of negotiation would still be cheaper than an R154 here...!!!!

Nice work. When done.. i need to drive down SD to give you a seal of approval. Your car needs to be certified. LOL. Very nice.. I was given a Datsun B210 when I was in high school and my dad got few 210 wagons too. My sister had a 310 hatchback. Now I miss those classic rides. I have been looking at the older Toyota Corona. I talked to a guy locally and he specialized in Classic Toyota and he stated that Corona with V6 engine has bigger engine bay. Good luck. Looks like u know what to do already.
Only took six days to get he kit from australia, I will take pix when I get home .couple more questions what are the thread pitch for the bolts that go from the bellhousing to the ttansmission and the thread pitch for the bolts that go to the engine.. thanks in advance

That 510 is amazing, good luck with the engine swap!
Also, so a Supra Transmission will work on a LS 400? My tranny is dying thus why I asked.

lost intrest in doing the swap so im selling the engine,transmission and dellow kit for 2500.. the engine has new water pump,timing belt,belt tensioner and pulleys,spark plugs and valve cover gaskets.it also has the ls400 fan bracket with the pulley.i have both front and rear sump oil pans with pick up tubes. i was going to use megasquirt with this engine, so the engine dosent have both distributors caps... can be reached by email at [email protected]
have not been on here in a while, kinda feel like a yo-yo one day i dont want to complete the swap and the next i do.. the engine fits in the car only had to cut the transmission tunnel and have to make a new mounts and cross member.. i got a couple pictures showing the progress, i got a question on the left side of the block there is a large bolt with what looks like a metal tube coming out of it kinda looks like it would carry oil or coolant can i cap it off or is it needed..
