1UZFE Into 40 (1 Viewer)

[landcrush]

Been toying with the thought of a 1UZFE Lexus V8 swap for my 72 FJ40.

While researching it seems most of not all that have gone into cruisers have been backed by an auto trans.

There are a few adapters for manuals such as the Muncie 4 speeds and the toyota R and W series transmissions.

would it be feasible to fab an adapter to work with the stock H 3 or 4 speed trans...

If anyone knows of a successful manual trans/ 4WD/ 1UZFE please share your knowledge .

No i am not going to put a cheby motor in my Toyota

I've got one in my 40 behind a H55f gearbox. Adaptor kit was made by Dellows here in Australia and is a belhousing replacement with new flywheel.

Did you retain the engine’s ECU or are you running some sort of stand alone management?

I first used the factory ECU to get it passed engineering here and just to get it running. I'm in the process of choosing a standalone ECU but haven't decided which one yet, leaning towards Adaptronic for support and they have 1UZ base tunes to go already.

I have a 1UZFE and a Dellow bell housing mated to an H55f, a buddy of mine made the CAD drawing that Dellow used to make them. My 1UZ is from a Epic boat , made by Toyota for a couple of years. It has an ECU with no emmision controls , so no key lock out and three wire hookup.
I have two more ECU's that I would be interested in selling if someone can use one.

Didn’t even see you posted here lol.

Would that ECU work with a standard UZFE ie; not marine.

Also in regard to the transmission mating, would something like this (I believe to be an H151F) Bolt up?
Bellhousing looks the same as UZ, but they are full time 4wd from what I understand

In Australia the 100 series comes with a 2UZFE and manual H151 5 speed, the same bell housing should fit the 1UZFE.
Problem is the H151 is a lot longer gearbox which could become a problem in a FJ40 unless you extend the wheelbase.
Those who used the Dellow housing were you happy with the fitment and quality?

Which Dellow bell housing and/or kit did you use? Looking at their website, it looks like the only kits are available for Hilux R transmissions...

You have to email Dellows directly.

They have the mold to make the casting for the H55f, you just have to contact them

Great, thanks for that info!

I did it, 1uz mates to stock 4 speed. Used factory 1uz bellhousing and re-drilled a Chevy adapter plate.

1uz mated to 4 speed.

I have completed this swap in my 1976 fj40 project and I thought I would provide the part numbers I cobbled together and what I did to make it work. The parts list is as follows: Engine from 1992 sc400 Oem Lexus bellhousing from junkyard (my engine didn’t have one) Clutch : 80-83 Jeep cj5...
