We have a Toyota Lexcen wagon and we tried to put a quad-cam 1UZ-FE engine into it but it didn't fit... until we made it fit.

There's "always something", coz carnage y'all. Why we watch, apart from those weird Aussie vehicles, coz we don't have to get dirty, frustrated or incur the expense of these builds while watching from our lounge room. Loving this Lexen build but what us yanks are really waiting is what you'll do with that Hemi 6.4, we're hoping for stronger internals, boost and fitting it to one of your Aussie mopars (I think y'all call them Valiants)? Something that can run 9s, road legal and daily drive in an event like your version of Drag Chalenge (and I'm not referring to what you Aussie boys get upto in Oxford Street, ha ha).

I'm glad you thought ahead about the thickness of ali to add to the cam cover when welding it up. 👍 Is there any room to drop the engine by 10 or 20mm? Just thinking that could help with the propshaft angle issue and be easier than mucking around with the rear axle or trans tunnel.

The long extension you use to get to the difficult bolts is great, is that a Supercheap part? Those step bits are great, I remember drilling a pilot and slowly going up in size to the hole you want, ever since finding good quality step drill bits it's made life a lot easier (not cheap but worth the investment).

One build I've really been wanting to do recently is a 1UZ with a big single turbo (and supporting mods obviously) into a Lexus IS300 (Toyota Altezza). Yes, they come with the 2JZ-GE, but I would much rather have that V8 torque followed by the pull of the turbo as soon as I stomp the go pedal. I love the styling of the IS300 and I think that it would be ALOT of fun with the 1UZ turbo swap and a proper combination of suspension, tires, and rims.

@bobroberts2371 Жыл бұрын

Hopefully, the rubber drive disc at the end of the transmission will be eliminated in favor of a U joint as the disc type of setup does not like miss alignment found on a solid rear axle. ( discs are used on an IRS rear ) The stub sticking out of the transmission is used for centering of the disc. With miss alignment, this becomes a wear / bind point for the bushing inside the drive shaft. I've seen aluminum spacers that convert a disc to a bolt on ( Ford type ) U joint yoke.
