New motor swap I see coming behind your truck??

 

Sorry guys I can't get over the finished product

 

I foresee an LS mating soon....

 

Those sure look pretty.

 

Hey now no spooning with them....

 

Im not sure I can reframe

 

Hahaha

 

It’s a plastic mock up block……

Totally not a spec LS3….

 

don’t ruin a toyota with an LS…that’s what god gave us the 2JZ for…

 

Tbh the hardest thing I’ve ever done to a car. It doesn’t help I made it harder on myself by using a fucked engine and a fucked trans. And also the inability to fabricate anything.


it’ll probably be a breeze for you.

 

It could be for that thing parked behind it too. Just know. I’m enjoying the thing for a while. Engine swap is far out!

 

I mean, you should still be proud to pull it off!

 

1uz...

 

To be honest. 2UR is still a thought.

However. I’m trying to look at things from a business standpoint too. Not many are going to spend the coin for 2ur. But. An LS swap kit would be pretty tempting for many I feel. Bolt in crossmember, mounts etc….

No doubt. But you need to build the hell out of them to make power. 2UR is 472hp in factory form. Or 5500$ buys you a 525hp LS3 long block direct from GM performance.

 

I understand owning a few Vettes, but keeping with the "Toyota" theme.

 

At this point in a build. It’s kinda mundane to spend 10’s of thousands to make a motor work. 1UZ would take thousands of dollars just to adapt a 4x4 trans. Same goes for 2UR. 2UZ has options, but not as many options as the tried and true GM line. Especially considering GM has kept the same bell housing pattern alive from the 50’s all the way to current day. Which makes the support absolutely astronomical.
