Newbie with a Lexus motor

[MattK2191]

HI Lexus universe,
I just wanted to share my unique 63 MGB with you all.
It has a 1UZFE crammed in it's engine bay and a Toyota gear box and front end running gear.
It also featured here in Aus on a Lexus stand.
Let me know what you all think.
The car has been built for hill climbing and it goes and handles as well as it looks.
Cheers

You have a buld thread on this?

As an old MGB owner I wouldn't have thought the engine bay was wide enough for the UZ.

Well done and it looks too good to hill climb.

I have a file with over 200 photos of the entire build

You've done a great job of getting it all in.

What suspension are you running.

Nothing looks vaguely like a B under the front.

PLEASE

Nice job. Would be a great sleeper. Only thing I would have done different would be a manual box for some fun. Great work

Hi More pics of suspension etc.
Front end, Toyota stub axles, Nissan R33 hubs, adjustable coil/damper units locked with spacer tubes. we fabricated our own wishbones.
Rear end Toyota uprights adapted for Subaru WRX independant control arms.

Yeah Thanks.
Manual gear box is next on the list. Probably a supra steel case 5 speed.
Thoughts??
