3rd Gen 4Runner is getting engine swap? (1UZ goodness inside) - YouTube
Yes, I know this project makes no sense at all
That’s why I love it. I really enjoy weird builds and being different.
It’s going to be a slow project, so I really don’t want anyone getting overly excited and looking for daily updates or anything. I’m very much in a mode of parts-collecting right now and getting my ducks in a row.
I’ll post here periodically.
The plans are, in a nutshell:
- Fully forged and studded 1991 1uz with 9.5:1 CR
- ported heads, kelford cams, springs, retainers, oversized valves
- borg Warner s366
- 1000cc injectors, walbro 450 in tank pump, aeromotive regulator all -8 fuel line,
- built r150f with supra final drive
- megasquirt ecu
