SOTTY Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 Nice job mang ! bet your loving the sexy sounds of the 1uz V8 , i'm running a 2 row sr20 rad with two 9'' elec fans pullers at the rear and a huge pusher fan outta Lexus 400 up front , i found the 3 row a bit tight with no room for fans , even with the 2 row in there now squeezing in two 9'' fans was a super tight fit , it all works though and runs super cool , this v8 is made for SQ swapping , it's strong,light,made in great numbers,makes decent power and can be found cheap.

BoostedYack Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 This is the engine I'll be putting in when I get another s/c. Had a LS400 as a daily driver for a little bit and made me fall in love with the engine so much, we put one in a cherokee, soon into my comanche, and now I want a s/c with one! Glad there is info out there. Things have really changed in terms of info since '98-00!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
