1UZ lexus V8 into a KE70 SL

[>DOBES<]

How hard would it be to put a 1UZ into a KE70?how much butchering would u have to do to the firewall and trans tunnel to fit a W55 gearbox in?
And how much would it cost,round about?
Cheers

It wouldn't be very cheap at all, unless you are pretty handy with a grinder and a welder...

I priced it up roughly a while back, and was looking over $10,000 from memory.

ok flag that lmao
How hard would a 3SGTE conversion be like [DEVILE]?

3S-GTE would be similar price. If you can't do at least some of the work yourself then a KE70 is most likely not worth the $$$ spent on the conversion. You also need to factor in a diff upgrade to probably a Hilux G code. As for the W55, it goes in no problems with a custom gearbox crossmember and slight enlarging of the shifter hole (depending on shifter position). Based on the 18RG sitting in my KE70, I think the 1UZ would go in without firewall or trans tunnel cutting. Cost to convert to manual though soon adds up as the motor was only available in auto.

I think Toymods, or Twincam.org has a guy with a 1UZ in an AE86
