2UZ in a 70

[omar]

Looking into throwing a 2UZ in my 75... the golden question is it possible without ripping the hell out of it?
searched everywhere found some videos, pics etc. but no real writeup, many for the 80 but nothing for the 70
any suggestions!? or leads to a proper thread

Try searching for 1UZ swaps instead. There are a number of them out there. They are fairly common into the LJ78 Prado and bolt up to the A343F transmission. I have seen the 1UZ in the heavy duty landcruisers too. 1UZ is a common swap engine into all kinds of cars, and there is a lot of support for it. Wiring is the main challenge.

As far as i understand 2UZ is an easier swap regarding mounting and dimensions etc., what is the reason behind using the 1UZ and not the 2UZ?? its commonly swapped in the 80 cruisers but not for the 70's and this is whats worrying me.
i already searched for 1uz as you suggested found a thread but for a 79 which is slightly spacious under the hood.

Yup.. Dimensions!! its so annoying to start working blind specially if your not an expert in this
