I am curently stuffing a 1UZ into an LH.
Its a tight fit and exhaust headers will be a bastard to fit, But thats what hammers are for, right?

Other stuff will include,
Hoppers Stoppers 330mm brake upgrade (or something similar)
Bullet cars ADR / EPA certified tuned, Autronic SM4 ECU.
Adjustable Watts linkage
Adjustable Anti-roll bars (hopefully driver adjustable, If anyone has done this or has ideas please let me know)
CRS 9" diff conversion
W58 Gbox
and im putting togeather a softPLC system to run the electrics.
I will post some pics soon

I don't think you'll be allowed driver adjustable anit-roll in a road car.

Sounds great nonetheless.
Someone else here has sqished a 1UZ into an LH before, so maybe you can find those posts.

I hope to get some pics up tomorrow.
I've been studying for a pilots licence recently, so i haven't had too much time.
will get stuck into the torry this weekend.

I have had the engine in the car already. it does fit, but its tight.
I have heaps of stainless pipe at work, so making extractors to fit shouldnt be a problem.
Anyone know if the bottom of the steering column can be moved over a bit? (without too much stuffing around)

I have to talk to an engineer soon about the roll bars, gutter removal etc. I'll let you all know how it goes.

Dude you sound just like i did 2 years ago, studying for pilot licenses and putting a 1uz in a torry

I chickened out and went the 355 path for simplicity, good luck with the 1uz its a ripper of a engine, even better with some boost :spoton:

Where you located / flying out of????

Nice project mate,looks like you have some room to fit a decent extractor/exhaust system.Are the exhaust ports below your front chassis rails??

They are.
the exhaust ports are about level with the top steering uni joint. only 1-2 inch clearence.
The LHS has heaps of room
Next job is trying to move the steering column up against the chassis rail to get a bit more room, shouldn't be too hard. (famous last words)
Then i'll be mounting the engine/gbox. The bits of angle (75 x 50 x 3 from memory) on the stand in pic 1 will be the basis for the crossmember. overkill maybe, but chassis flex wont be an issue.
