    1uz's aren't too hard to find buddy, best of luck.


    Maybe try and find a wrecked SC430? (They all should have been wrecked really)

    I've just read this and wondered what the Hell "Full House" and those really irritating Olsen twins had to do with putting a 1UZ into an RT141. Then it dawned on me with the help of a beer or two that this has been done but not with a 1UZ to my knowledge but no reason why it can't. Why I say it's been done was "Back in the day" a mate of mine had one with a 289 Windsor in it. Another mate had a RWD Magna wagon with a P76 V8 in it and the same guy that had the Corona also had a Mark one Escort with a Rover V8 in it (This is the early '90s in NZ where 1UZs were not cheap but we all wanted one). At the time I had the SL/R5000 Torrie (dumb mistake selling that) and a very worked Mini for a daily (I regret selling that even more than the Torrie). So it can be done, I don't recall any issues with chassis flex but remember the UZ family of engines are a 90 degree V so the strut towers may cause an issue with clearances. AIRC the Corona still had the Borg Warner diff in it as did the Magna. Corona had stock Toyota 5 speed and Magna was auto

    Finished the conversion a few years ago. Only just recently had the car resprayed. Road registered 1uz rt142. Gotta rebarrel the f90s on the rear to get a 245 under there, 225 breaks traction too easily. Good bit of fun making 155rwkw, once i get some better flowing headers and itbs or maybe just a turbo should put down a bit more and be even more fun to drive, won't be road legal with boost though 😀
