I looked and realized how much I posted back then...

 

Haha so when are you going to put the Viper motor in your truck?

 

Lmfao i might as well cut open the cab and stick the motor behind the seats and in the bed!
Viper motor swap was such an impossible dream. Doable, unaffordable.

 

Nothings impossible, with enough money!

Viper v10 twin turbo swapped into my body style mustang. There is not alot of room in there, trust me...

To make the V10 fit, the firewall was pushed back ten inches and Cobra Scott had to make a custom fabricated k-member, control arms and transmission mounts as well as numerous other odds and ends

I'm getting a 350 from a 71 camaro hopefully today or tomorrow.

 

The viper engine is all aluminum... Weight isn't a major issue. Now the length.... Dodge mount the front of the motor right behind the front axle to maintain a 49/51 front rear weight distribution.
For me to do that.... Geez do I have leg space?!
Might as well do it mid engine setup haha

 

I never knew that Toyota made a V8 for productions cars before 1990. I knew they did for racing but this is the first. Very cool engines, too bad they are severely under powered: 162hp 213ft lb. That is almost the same output as the 3.0 3VZ in my 94 4Runner! And that engine is a total dog! I hate to see what the 5v-eu would be like in that heavy Toyota Century!

has anyone seen a detail build on a 90's model 2wd swapping to a 1uz-fe

 

Theres a few out there ... use google .. v-8 swap toyota or something similar

 

there used to be several builds at www.uzswap.com, but the site isn't up anymore.

they always mentioned www.lextreme.com, but when i pulled up the url my internet security went crazy so i never tried it again.

 

I still technically belong to that one... never noticed anything.

 

I joined Lextreme literally for a day and immediately got banned. Didn't even get a chance to get my intro thread started.

 

Just throwing this out there

I have a mint low mileage 1uzfe motor for sale

I think I found one I'm going to buy...

 

i want to do a 1uz but is it true it needs a body lift or hood mod? Because i want to bag my truck to lay frame, least thing i need is a body lift or hood mod... anys pics of this motor on a 89-94 body style bagged?

 

I knew I was a number off

 

Someday guys i will do one of these swaps. maybe later down the road when everything else is done on the truck. But all of these are nice swaps. Keep it up guys

 

If you want to follow some UZ builds, look at http://forums.minitruckin.co.nz/index.php or http://www.downundertruckin.com/ as they are a commonly used motor in this part of the world.
