Nice work Steve. Mine is next right? So what are the weight and hp/torque numbers on that beast? Got links for more info, details?
Not sure on the exact weight of the engine. Its all aluminum so its pretty light. It falls somewhere in between the weight of the 4cyl and the v6. ** Factory numbers on HP are 255 but with the open exhaust and air cleaner it should be closer to 300. I don't remember the torque. They are capable of big numbers but there are very few places that work on the factory ECU. I've read into using an aftermarket ecu but I think I'd be giving up reliability. It will be plenty for what I need. those numbers don't sound like a lot but for 1992 that was higher rater horsepower than the Corvette, Camaro or Mustang GT.
**EDIT** the dressed weight of the 1uz-fe is listed at 390 lbs. for comaprison, Chevy small block v8 is 575lbs, 22re is about 340lbs, 3.0 v6 is
Other than the wiring its really not that hard. If you rounded up all the parts I'll bet the two of us could get most of it slapped out over a weekend. I'm just a slacker so mine's taking forever. I found that a v6 truck is better to start out with because things like fuel lines and power steering lines all cross over and work on the Lexus.
