Apparently a 1uzfe wont fit in the ms65 engine bay so make sure you measure.

i had a customer want to put a 1uzfe into a 72 corona /crown i cant remember and i dont know the model,

but from a few quick measurements it would be a very tight squeeze, a lot of cutting required, firewall, cross member and inner guards

oh cheers um what are the g series out of??

and u saw it won't fit on the ms65 the iner guards can be fully taken out.. and you could staddle the straight six thats in it now, and close the hood.
apparently in their day the 258(?) chev small block was the most common conversion..
the 7m-gte bolts straight on, but does the 7m-gte box fit in with out changing the sharft??

centre bowl 1uzfe will fit- only thing is the right side header will get extremely close(if not touching) to the steering box. length and height isnt an issue.

nah 4ms are great what are you talkin bout lol

in my ms55 crown we measurred up a 1uz it would fit perfectly the only thing you have to do is change the brake booster " providing that the crown has one or is running a remote booster "
if so just slap a vh65 of 55 cant remember bosster and all will be fine

give me till december i should " should " have a 1uz in mine

This man speaks the truth... F series should be allright, depends how you treat it. Im gunna run one (or try) 200-300kw atw's.

My mates dad just fully overhauld one, fark it is sooo straight.
