you might be able to get an engineer to say its safe, still doesnt mean you can get it registered

and where are you finding a 1uz with a manual box and computer for the same price as what you can get a CA which would be around $1500

they are heavier than a gen 3 v8 and much heavier than a dodge hemi 2,
buick/rover v8 and 370z v6.
A Nissan v8 pushrod Y40 stock with alloy heads easier to maintain and oldschool no pollution gear. You just have to find one or import one from japan.

{ive been running a y44 nissan v8 for about 12 years now runs fine neat fit in engine bay
on pulling a y40 apart we found they well made 4 bolt mains valve guides 4 barrell manifold but never found anyone who hotted one up or made parts for them interestingly the nissan 6 cyl flywheel bolts up to the crank} end quote.

So let's recap.
* Lexus V8 is heavier
* Lexus V8 is wider
* Lexus V8 is more expensive
* Lexus V8 is only 4 liters
* Lexus V8 is taller

???

i reckon it'd be too much weight up the front end, much the same as jamming a holden v6 in. you'd have to weigh the rear down to balance it, which kinda wrecks the point. the CA's work well cos they aren't too heavy, i was tempted to go a v6 cos they cheap as chips haha, but the weight wouldn't work well

right on

"just do it"

Ive seen two ute 1uz's, the 1uz is cheap as chips in SA, both were still auto's.

i stopped into tomo's gararge yesterday seen one of his 1200 race car with a ca18det in it and has made me go back to the ca conversion.
