If you guys are finding it a bit hard, I'm sure I could find a Hilux to shoe horn it into.

got it here now, looks like a straight fit in teh AE71

you are a bad man Linden

sump is removed and its sitting in the bay, 5kgt is the picture takerer so dont ask me for pics.

me thinks a dry sump is a must, but it wont be overly difficult to build so thats a relief, the only way you could do it using the factory sump / oil pump is by mounting a complete IS200 or similar front end in this thing but that would be more effort than its worth.

anyone got a bellhousing i could borrow till 5kgt's new one rocks up? doubt it but its worth asking

cheers

Switch it with the beams..? Reckon he'd notice the 8 missing cylinders?

Hmmm...like to see this freaking oil pump arrangement.

[The Real Roadrunner]

leeroy might take pics of it.

they are abit oldschool setup wise but fuck the castings are nice inside and out, they look similar in quality to late model ferrari, audi etc

The Euro engines used to use a chain for the oil pump in the sump, very common in the
80,s , looks toyota coppyied it

Yeah early Mazda 4's had the same set up. Obviously the 12 is longer than a 6 so you don't want the pump on the front if you want to keep the length down and there is no jack shaft to take a drive from, so the narrow single chain uses the least space and the oil pump size or capacity isn't compromised.
I like that front sump layout maybe the old MA61 would like that more than an old 5ME I know I would!!
Good stuff fellas keep it coming more pics loving it.

Cheers Dave.

suprisingly it aint that long, maybe 50-80mm longer than a 2jz.

there is a perferct space inside the front timing cover that they could have run a pump but i think they just wanted to run it in the pan so they could use a really high volume pump, it does after all need almost 2x the oil ov a 2j for the same RPM.

isn't it ~10L capacity?

bloody expensive oil changes

[thechuckster]

fwiw: the repco/brabham F1 engine in a past RACE magazine had the dry-sump pump in the sump - and it used a chain drive off the crank... that way it had minimal lines outside the sump in case of leakage.

About 8.5L.

Yes.

It seems that fate has decided I shall never be able to buy a 1GZ, apart from the one attached to a Century which I can't really modify.

A few months ago one came up for sale, it was offered to me, and I paid cash immediately. I've just learned that a container load of engines mysteriously disappeared from a container en route from Japan, and my 1GZ was among them.

Not only do I miss out on buying a V12 (again!), the chances of getting my money back aren't looking great. I guess you could call that a $6000 lesson.
