[BUSHWHACKER]

This time, yes.
Do you need anything? the shell is going tomorrow.

No no, just seems a bit of a waste but i suppose its only the engine your after.

It is, but this one is rusty and mingin' underneath, the interior is the only clean part of it!

With regards to the exhaust vince, if there's enough cash spare ...yes please!!

Yes, there's enough for that, but you will need a drive (fan) belt and a new set of leads.
OEM leads are around 80 quid, after market big, sexy, the same as Hiroler's, blue ones are about 150!
Drive belts are around 20 I think.

If you want to have a search yourself, the engine is a 1990 1UZ-FE, model: UCF10.

Bushwacker, do you know if the LSx GM V8's will mate up? Without researching this, I assume the Lexus lump will mate up to the gearbox, but would a GM motor? Having had a 5.7 LS1 in my monaro, the idea of 400 horses through 33x12.50's somewhat appeals.......

[gwh200]

Drive belt?
Is this the biggun that's on the front driving everything?

[BUSHWHACKER]

Yup, drives the alternator, P/S pump, water pump, A/C.

Inspected the timing belt and it looks like it's been change recently, would explain why there's a few things not put back properly on the front of the engine.

[gwh200]

Rightio. Will get onto all that when I get some wifi...and I'm not in a field in Essex.

I have no idea about GM/Toyota compatability, but there's a few 5.0 Holden V8 conversions on the Australian site.

I use the Lexus auto transmission, remove the end cover, modify the output shaft and bolt on the Surf's transfer case. The Lexus V8 is around 240bhp with the same ft/lbs and can light up 33" muds no problem.

What leads did Hiroler get?
