My first thought was to buy a 1UZ from a soarer as they have the rear sump and would possibly fit in with the standard 18rc crossmember (modified mounts of course). The other possibility was to find a TA23 front crossmember and buy a 1UZ with a front sump arrangement..
My plan is to use my standard W50 gearbox, I figure if i break the box then i can swap for a larger 'W' box later down the track.
Which sump/crossmember arrangement have other people used?
I would really appreciate any help anyone can offer me, some pos rep will certainly be given!
