Springs for rear suspension stripped down and primed. I will be using a three leaf 51" pack from a 89-95 toyota pickup. I might have to add a leaf or two but I will start with this.

Transfer case crossmember finished and painted.

14 bolt ARB installed with 5.13 gears.

14 bolt-toyota pinion flange installed.

Does anyone know if the large spring bushings from marlin will work in toyota rear springs. I ordered bushings from them for my rears up front a couple years ago and they work great. I'm now doing my rear suspension using the same type of leaf and am trying to get bushings. What are people using for RUF bushings?

The phone guy at marlin said they would't work but I'm not sure he's right. The spring eyes are 1 9/16" which is 39-40mm. Marlin lists the od of their bushing at 39.5mm. This seems like it should work. They list the inside diameter at 19mm which is strange since their greasable bolts are 18mm

If anyone can help I would appreciate it.

the large bushings from marlin will work in toyota rears if you press the original bushings out... i run them on the rears i have up front on my 92! Order the large bushings from Marlin and they will slide right in! $Beer Chug\'n$

Order the large bushings from Marlin

i had issues with mine when i put them into the '92 stock springs, but i made them fit using a wire wheel (to take off that .5mm) they just seemed to be more of a pregnant dog than usual to change.

this is an awesome thread to watch $Beer Chug\'n$ keep up the good work

T-case cross member installed. The mounts are toyota rear shackle tubes with poly bushings and 18mm greasable bolts.

Lexus steering wheel.

damn that

is pretty much bolt on for the steering wheel lol.

reasoning for using the lexus column?

dniel · « **Reply #98 on:** May 30, 2009, 01:09:55 PM »

Only one of the original bolts lines up but you can bolt the Lexus column to that and it makes lining up the other 3 much easier. I'm using the Lexus body harness so it's easier to use the Lexus column since it has the ignition and cruise control built into it. Plus it adjusts electrically up and down as well in and out. Supposedly when you turn off the engine and pull out the key the column automatically retracts and moves up out of your way. 8)

I'm in the middle of a similar swap and I know that lexus body harness is a huge rats nest. There are two of them actually. and about 10 differnt computers for variouse things.

You only need about half of it. I might strip mine down or I might just stuff it behind the the dash and forget about it. I like the way the Lexus harness unplugs into smaller parts. Try to document your build as much as possible. When a few people have completed this swap we should make a thread like they have for the 3rz.

Have you decided how you are going to control your fuel pump?

I am documenting it. I was just gonna wait until it was running before putting together a build thread. There are several 1uz swap threads that have been floating around for years and never fininshed and it really irritated me. I'm not using hardly any of the body harness with mine. Using all the Truck stuff. The actual wires to make the engine run are almost the same between the two harnesses.

As far as the Fuel pump goes, my wiring guy is just gonna wire it to go on and off like the toyota one does. I don't care about the dual speed pump control or anything I just need high. I think the low speed was just for noise control since the lexus tank was right behind the back seat.

dniel · « **Reply #103 on:** May 31, 2009, 11:34:45 AM »

If your starting with an efi harness its probably easier to just use that. I started with a hacked up carb harness. I origainly planned to swap in an efi harness from my old 4runner and then splice the Lexus engine harness into that. When I started to pull the Lexus apart I liked how the harness was done so I just decided to use that. The reason I asked about the fuel pump is I want to use the lexus fuel control and an efi truck fuel pump. I'm hoping that the switching of speeds won't harm the pump but I'm not sure. It might be better if I just wire it through a relay like the trucks do it.

I'm glad your documenting things. If your staying full bodied and using your truck harness your build will be more helpful to a lot of people than mine is. A lot of the things I did on mine were not the easiest or fastest ways to get it done. Any teaser pics.

Here's a couple of the mock up engine. I actualy got 4 complete drivetrains. 2 LS400's and 2 SC400's

Here is the engine that's going in it.

I scored a JDM Toyota Intake Plenum on Ebay for $30 bucks. It has the Factory EGR delete and a Toyota Emblem.

BUDDERS · « **Reply #108 on:** Jun 01, 2009, 06:59:48 AM »

If you can get away with it in your state, the EGR delete is a good idea for these motors. The LS400 egr pipes would always crack and the passage in the EGR valve would always get clogged up with carbon when the vacuum modulators went out.

Another issue these motors had was the P/S pumps would leak on the alternator. I've always wondered if the Tundra P/S pumps would bolt up. We rarely saw those leak when I worked at Toyota - they were a slightly different design than the Lexus pumps.

Just my

Just confirming that if you want to run the 18mm greasable bolts the bushings you want are marlins. The trail gear bushings have to big of an OD and will not fit the Toyota spring eye. The regular Daystar bushings fit the spring eye but are 19mm ID. These will work if you want to run a sleeve and smaller bolts. The Daystar bushings can be ordered through 4wheel parts and seem to be a little cheaper than energy suspension.

Marlins bushings are made by Daystar and are the same as the regular large toyota spring bushings except the inside diameter is 18mm instead of 19mm.
Regular bushing on the left. Marlin bushing on the right.

wow, this is a great build. I have a buddy w/ a wrecked sc400 that I've been really tempted to pick up for my truck. Would you have to modify the front sheetmetal like you did, or was that just because of the massive forward shift you did on the front axle?

There is no need to cut the front clip to run a 1uz. I did that for tire clearance reasons. I'm going to bump stop it about an inch short of the hood so I don't really have room for fenders. Many people in Oz have swapped this motor into otherwise stock 4runners and trucks. If any ones interested search Outer Limits 4x4. There are several guys on there with 1uz swaps.

Keep in mind before diving into this there is no cheap way to run a 5 speed behind a 1uz. There are several different ways to do an auto setup some of them quite cheap. The sc400 would have the oilpan you need if you have a solid axle.

THK Matt · « **Reply #112 on:** Jun 03, 2009, 02:27:11 PM »

can you even mate any 5speed to the 1uz? lol

Yes. There are several different ways. There is even a factory application that is supposed to work. The problem, like I said is that all the options are quite expensive.

and what is the factory application??? I have been wanting to do a 1uz swap forever however I refuse to use an automatic trans.... more info on the factory 5 speed would be much appreciated....

Toymin8r · « **Reply #116 on:** Jun 03, 2009, 07:09:46 PM »

There are a few companies that make a bellhousing to mate both the W56 and R151 to the 1uz. I've even heard of (although I have not seen it) someone using a Supra 6spd and custom making the bellhousing and t-case adapter. Most of the companies that make these swap parts are in Australia.

that is correct.

I am just wondering if there is any factory 5speed that the bellhousing will just bolt up.

The bellhousing pattern is unique to the V8 due to the starter location. A manual was never offered anywhere in the world on the Lexus 1uzfe. There might be a manual made for the Tundra 2uzfe 4.7L that may bolt up but you would still need an adapter to move the transfer case drop to the right side.
