I voted the wrong one. Factory controls on the 1UZFE. Get Crown UZS131 half cut.
Right.
My Supercamry runabout has been sold, so I'm picking up my next daily this weekend-a 1983 MS123 Crown in metallic light blue. It's in good nick, zero rust, and the interior is very neat.
Single problem it has though-clapped out 5M on LPG.
The options as I see them-
#1 1UZ-FE + auto (which model crown cut do I need)
#2 2JZ-GE + auto
This car will be used to tow my 10 second crown around (and probably all the way up to QLD for Jamboree) and daily driving duties. (the LPG wil be retained)
So-do I buy a half-cut and swap everything in, or do I buy a motor and trans and put an aftermarket computer on it (cheapish one)?
Discuss eggheads.

V8 will be helpful when towing and probably be cheaper than a 2JZ aswell. like gt says a UZS131 cut would make the whole job easy as
Anyone got any UZ131 pics? Are they a front-strut arrangement, or wishbone?
Is the UZ131 a Rack&pinion? Perhaps then I can use the steering and brakes off it too.
Looks like the full 1UZ front-cut is going to be the winner.............
A nice shift kit in the auto will also be mandatory.

there is an engine bay shot in there that might help. can't really see much. bout 2/3rds way down the page
UZS131 has wishbones and steering box.
UZS131 is the MS137's cousin.
Its identical to the MS137 with a 1UZ shoved in it, comprimise after comprimise.
Me thinks Mr Toyota needed a car to put the 1UZ in, so they shoved it in an MS137 Crown and went BAM.
This can be told by the fact its the only 1UZ on a lean, the only 1UZ without a dual exhaust, the only 1UZ with seperate auto/engine ecu's (like some 7M's), the only 1UZ with a slipyoke transmission...
So yes, concur with others. UZS131 cut, UZS131 control system.

1UZ-FE from a UZS131.
You could do it in a week.
I posted some pics up in another thread the other day of a 1UZ sitting in an MS83. The MS123 would be even easier to fit up.
Excellent.
I've had enough fabrication whilst building the Coupe to last me a freakin lifetime.
Now-any suggestions on a source for a quality 1/2 cut?
How are our two site sponsors for that sort of stuff?

CVAP excellent. I try and buy most of my big crap from him.
I trust your judgement there Dave-so CVAP it will be.

so whats your dad driving now?
Dads driving a 1992 SWB Patrol with a 4.2 diesel and shift kitted auto. Tomorrow I get the custom turbo manifold I ordered for it, and will then be fitting up the Holset blower, Tial wastegate and intercooler.
Towing monster.......
When are you coming home to OZ??
[email protected], WSID, COMPAK ATTAK, MAY 2006
home to visit or home for good?
everyone is asking that lately!!
do you miss us or something??
not really related to your car, but mine, i'm interested in a shift kit for my 1uz, anybody know where you can get them, and how much and if they work well? or do you think stock is pretty good?
just want to give mine the occasional( ) winding up, i'm not gonna go all out with engine mods, just the simple ones.
