Thanks for the compliment blacky , but I only supervise , its my fabricator who does all the work , he is fearless.

WOW...that Toyota donk is huge!!!
That'll certainly fill the engine bay! This thing will go like the clappers!!
It is like putting a V8 in a box trailer..the power to weight ratio is going to be awesome!!

Scotty.

yea it was a bit of a squeeze , it's roughly 700mmx700mm . the 1uzfe toyota V8 are a pretty nice engine , 6 bolt mains ,4 cams , 32 valves etc and all pretty lightweight . it's amazing you can get an engine from a $160.000 car for 1500 bucks ! they are getting used more and more now especially in the Hilux utes so theres quite a few people around that are up with the wiring which is very complicated , that's the next big step.

Hey Camel I can't seem to PM you back about the stub axles , you can email me on peter@cranetec.co.nz if you like.

found this clip on youtube , has some nice shots of holdens in 1966 especially the EK model

Those toyaota v8's can sure pack a punch. Nice choice. I've experienced the IS250F's v8 its quick!!

bit more bang for your buck than a Grey
i wont race you

Have done a few more things in the engine bay , radiator, fans, trans cooler etc . getting close to making some noise I hope ,the wiring scares me a bit though , if anybody has any wiring info it would be appreciated.

that looks sensational ,i want one in mine now
well done keep up the great work

Where ever you go you'll get there quick, and in style!

could say god it's crammed in there but it's prolly no different to the car it came out of

Just sent a mate an email , he is a guru with these motors , he set up the one in our Hilux - will let you know when he gets back to me.

thanks Blacky much appreciated , here is some details of the engine ,computer etc . It's a 1991 Toyota celsior (LS400) UCF11 1UZFE V8 connected to a 30-41LE auto transmission , the ECU is 89661-50102 26p/16p/22p/26p . How is it over west at the moment , seriously considering looking for a job over there , things not to good here at the moment.

Well done so far Amigo !

Only thing - any chance of getting rid of the Toyo logo on the manifold ?

From the look of things so far you goes are really on top of things and I doubt the wiring will stop you - and yeah - that tunnel almost looks like a factory job.

I like to watch

I will get the grinder out straight away dave , it does look a bit weird. thanks for the good words ,I have a brilliant fabricator I will pass on your comments.
