If you use the TOS mounts, rad hoses that are easy to get and work well are: Lower: 100 series, with ~2" cut out of the long straight section in the middle, splice with a coupler of your choosing (careful with metallics to avoid corrosion as there's no good way to ground the coupler) Upper...

Never studied the earlier 4Rs once I saw all the ECU revs and TSBs. The hardware is likely the same, could maybe reflash it.

Between this thread and my build thread, you should be covered. I used an '04 4R myself. The last few months of non vvti v8 4R production are more desirable as the ecu does a better job at managing the torque converter during flex-lock in 4th and 5th. Toy Only Swaps covers your mounts and...

The transmission shifter bolts in the factory spot, youll need to modify the length of the linkage rod. Transfer case is a similar deal. FJ80 shifter lands just about perfectly, or you can modify a 100 shifter to do the same task reasonably. Linkage length needs to adjust accordingly.

In short, I think you're barking up the wrong tree. For the engine fitting without a firewall crash, I haven't ever seen that BH so I can't say. But most UZ swaps end up with the BH-mounting face scooting fwd several inches, usually leaving a little more than 1/4" between the PS head and the...

Cruise control. Pre-98 LC and passenger auto used one range of resistors in the cruise stalk, and 98+ used a different range. Use the early set with a UZ controller and the functions don't map correctly. Not a huge deal. Put the right resistors in the 80 stalk and all is well. Resistance vs...

Finishing up an 80 swap, used these hoses to build out the heater plumbing, owner opted to retain the rear heater. Gates 19478 feeds the valve supply, cut to fit. Gates 18462 is a 1/2" 90 to connect the PS rear heater pipe. Several PNs exist to fill this need, the parts house stocked this one...

Got pics of the install?

I haven't pursued them, as the LC manifolds clear both 60s and 80s really well, can reasonably be R&R'd in-chassis, are affordable, and can be easily obtained if one is damaged/cracks.

We're on this same path now, collecting parts. What's your plan for the ecu and harness? Sending it out or trimming it down again?

Excellent addition! What'd you use for the passenger side pipe?

Gazillion threads on the topic. Delta and plates both resolve your issue. Price points are considerably different. You want as much caster as you can get. Yoshi sets their axles up with far too little. I aim for no less than 3* on any front end. 35s+ I'm looking for 4*+.

The FZ clutch doesn't bolt up, but the FZ fan bolts to the UZ clutch. Thus the watch out being mentioned.

4runner or LS400/430. The truck fans get into the steering box and brake lines.
