    I have CAD file of the manifold flanges ready to send to laser/cnc/plasma cutter of your choice.

    ill be getting a pair made in the next month. happy to add to the order to reduce cost

    more progress over the long weekend.

    i got myself an FJ40 4 core radiator, and fitted it with great ease, although i did need to movre the sway bar down 15mm, but that was easy too.

    i also 3/4 finished the right exhaust manifold.

    i've put the engine exactly where i need it, and now i'm gonna have big troubles putting the left side exhaust in. there's no room at all, and i'd like some helpful input on this please...




    obviously i'm gonna have to chop something off to make room for the exhaust, but i'm not sure how much i can take without making it too unsafe. i reckon i'll have to speak to my engineer about it.

    anyways, here's some more pics of what i got done>>>

















    and here's me getting really sunburnt in the name of the 1UZ! it really hurts, wear lots of sunscreen folks.
    beer me!

    How can there be so much differnce in clearance side to side if the engine is centred? Is the engine rotated?

    I haven't looked under the boonet of my MX23 recently but I don't remember the engine bay being hugely asymetrical. I know the drivers side obviously has the steering box but the area you've shown is a long way forward of there.

    as i said, the engine is tilted, like the crown motor is as standard. edit: my bad, i didn't actually mention it

    the clearance on the steering side is 80mm at the scissor gear area, and 20mm on the other side.

    OK but isn't it a celsior motor? I thought only the crowns mounted the engine rotated.

    On second thoughts are you just saying that you've mounted it that way because it's the way you wanted to mount it? Either way it's pretty damn tight and has basically put an end to my hopes of putting a 1UZ in my MX23. Looks like I'll be searching for a VVTi 1JZGTE.

    i think the tilt comes from the engine mounts on crowns. i've got a crown gbox and crown sump btw too

    I have seen cars run the headers through the side of the engine bay. Not sure on the practicality / legality of it though. Would look pretty cool. Also seen a guy cut 4 holes there to facilitate changing spark plugs, was in an XD ford though.

    i'm pretty sure that'd be illegal, besides the clearance issue will be the actual chassis rail area. i reckon i'll have to chop it down and weld RHS into it, then cover it again with plate.
    the onlt issue with this will be the crossmember mounts, one of which is right in the middle.

    Pics of said radiator?? haha

    Is there no way you can mount the motor without the tilt? Seems a bit overkill to mod the rails / guard. Still looking good regardless!

    Yeah, mine is like that too, but I actually mounted mine about 10mm off centre and rotated so that I could have enough room for the steering knuckles for the rack and pinion. It's that effing tight.

    Is there enough room on the driver's side to clear a manual steering box there with the custom manifold? Or is it still as tight as a nun's nasty? Obviously you'll need some interesting exhaust work to make the passenger side fit. I had to clearance the upper wishbone in the Crown and slightly modify the log style UZS131 exhaust manifold.

    Your other option of course is to mount the engine slightly higher maybe 20 - 30mm (which I did too) - of course then there are bonnet clearance issues. Maybe if the exhaust ports are lined up with the 'gap' between the inner guard and chassis rail, you will have enough room to slide a log style exhaust in there.

    This is a big job - I totally love it.

    By gap, I mean the area 'circled' in the pic.
