1uzfe v8 swap build

94 1uzfe out of a LS400 mated to a stock z32 5 speed gearbox

Follow on instagram, I have the same username

Bought the car with bent valves due to a broken bolt holding the idler pulley. I own 2 sc400s and love the toyota engines.

Interesting, I've owned some SC400's myself, bulletproof engines, not too much hp though. Let us know how it's coming along!

Hi! I own a very clean silver '91 NA which I bought recently with the intention of swapping in a crate 480hp LS3. It's a good bone stock runner, so I'm enjoying it as is while I sort out suspension, brakes, wheels and tires.

I'll be using LOJ components to do the swap. I already have much of what I need from them.

I LOVE what you've done with the engine bay clean up. What's the plan for re-routing the harnesses & fuseboxes etc, especially that big ugly one that NIssan mounted crooked on the inside of the left front fender?
Thanks, Mo

Question

What engine mounts you used to install this in your Z?
