INDY510 Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 I get it, sounds like a fun project... Lexus V8:eek: Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 I don't get it? 1uz-fe+1971 4dr 510=? 1 (one, I?) uz (use?) - (no, less?) fe (iron?) + (and, plus?) 1971 4dr 510 = (equals) ???????? Quote Link to comment

datsunfreak Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 One small problem; The engine is 2" wider than a 510 engine bay, and about 2" longer than a 510 engine bay. And it only came with an auto trans. Other than those things, it would be AWESOME! :D Quote Link to comment
tnip Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 haha he could hot rod it and do a front end with no fenders or hood and kick the front end out on an i beam axle... HAHA no front end 510 with a v8... perfect. Quote Link to comment
tiltnose510 Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 I thought it was 2" wider than the 510. (HAHAHA) Cut, hack and make it fit. 1uz is a sweetheart of an engine. Turbo it! Quote Link to comment
808DA6 Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 1uzfe.com. This guy is putting it into a '72 Corolla. If it fits (w/ massaging) into that, it'll fit into a 510. I say go for it. Rumor has it, this motor like boooooost! ~Brian Quote Link to comment
irsa76 Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 I've seen a ST185 Celica running a 1UZ-FE with twin turbos, got a photo of it some where. Thing goes like a cut snake. And it runs a manual, and Motec. Quote Link to comment
Jtek Posted October 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 mmmmmm now THATS the stuff. Well I think I may be able to pull a fast 1 and say the ls400 has been there for almost 2 years and nobody has claimed the engine (over engineering I say!). Possibly pick it up with anything I need for it to run for around $400. Decent enough to NOT pass it up!! Quote Link to comment
irsa76 Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 It's got me interested. Any idea on the dimensions? Quote Link to comment
kiznook Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 sounds like an engine that's too nice for that car! it belongs in one of your many corollas, maybe the automagic 81 4door :D If you want a v8, it's gotta be nissan, or amuurickan Quote Link to comment
tnip Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 If you want a v8, it's gotta be nissan, or amuurickan hahah reading that reminded me of that episode of south park where the people from the future come back and start taking all the jobs... except by about halfway through the episode they say "theytookarrrjaarrbbsss":lol: Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 For some reason I though you wanted custom license plates haha :D I guess google wouldn't have hurt :) Quote Link to comment
Jtek Posted October 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 Guy, imma SLAP you if you mention messing with old yellAr again as I've told you too many times to count ORIGINALITY. That one is out of the question. The other 2 rollas run. Absolutely absurd to tear apart a running car for a possible incompletion. Besides, they're already fun. Kinda hard to get dimentions when it's still fully installed. Hell, it'll prolly start. I'm going with Toyota either way. I haven't seen very many nissan v8 engines at all and when I do, they're always $2000+ MY price. Even then, working with kyle (meaning he works and I watch) on the KA was bad enough and over-the-line-creepy that I won't ever do any nissan engine, period. Just the experiences with the last 2 blocks, unrelated problems or not, I've never had that with a 4ag and I doubt the 1uz will act a nissan. Not that I expect drop in and go (id get an l20 if i wanted that), I dont want to run into technical issues that cant be solved by welding hahaha know what I mean? Not much has changed from the 4ag to the present and that is my second reason for the 1uz. I mean absolutely no offence, but those are my reasons for a toyota engine. Hell, it prolly wont happen and we'll stick with the 16v cause I already have that. Quote Link to comment
lynchfourtwenty Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 i think no matter what engine you use its going to be cool, we just need to get started on it! Quote Link to comment
kiznook Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 I agree with lynch, lets just git er done! as for kyle's KA and being an example of nissan engines being "bad" or even "pain in the ass" that thing i an oddball. Obviously he had oil troubles on the first one...Engines need it! and the second....we all knew that wasn't going to work :D HOPEFULLY he'll get it this time, we'll see. I say stick with the 4age, just cuz it's there and ready. it'll be plenty of fun, and plenty of work! Quote Link to comment
lynchfourtwenty Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 yep yep, after we get the ka in kyles 620 goin im gonna drive it around for him, im sure it'll workout this time we've double checked everything.. nissan engines seem "Easy" to me... but im a nissan guy..

datsunfreak Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 It's got me interested. Any idea on the dimensions? One small problem; The engine is 2" wider than a 510 engine bay, and about 2" longer than a 510 engine bay. Isn't that all the "dimensions" you need? :P Or are we talking truck swap? And for the guys who mentioned Nissan V8, the Q45 engine is even bigger than the Toyota. :blink: Quote Link to comment
Jtek Posted October 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 Agreed. Either way its going to be loads of giggles. I've always wanted to do a v8 and this is the best way I could think of! Like I said, we'll prolly stick w/the 4ag cause I already have everything for it. Quote Link to comment
tiltnose510 Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 You don't know how many times I went back and forth between RB26....2JZ.....I ended up with the Nissan because I llike the revs and there aren't quite as many around. If you go to youtube and type Amuse Supra theres a video that shows what made up my mind finally. But no matter the Toyotas are great engines and the 1uz is super smooth. Quote Link to comment
DISLEXICDIME Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 what about the toyota 4 cam v6 Quote Link to comment
808DA6 Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 what about the toyota 4 cam v6 You talkin about the 5VZ? If you're curious, Nelson over at Altered Motives in Tualatin is elbows deep into a 5VZ V6 swap into a mid-70's Celica right now. You should check it out. Its going to have a couple of secret weapons too. ;) ~Brian Quote Link to comment
