Am I impatient? Yes. Was it worth dropping in an engine in the dark? Probably not. I'll look at clearances and whatnot tomorrow.

I don't envy your next timing belt job. Sweet work.
See above, it's on the listSpeaking of which Dan. It'll never get easier than now.

Don't think I'll have room for twin turbos, though.
I do want to try fit JBA headers. Maybe cut off the flange and TIG on a V-band. But it's a bit tight on drivers side. Hoping they will fit.

I've looked at those as well, they just cost almost twice what the JBA ones do. They do route the one front tube up and over on the driver's side, maybe for steering clearance. I'll have to look at them some more. Either way I'll want them bolted up when I drop the engine back in, driver's side will NOT be fun to squeeze in there.I was able to fit some Doug T. without any cutting. I had to do some crafty maneuvering to get them installed but they landed without any issue.
Hopefully that saves you some work...
Yes and no, the 80 a343f uses a TV cable for line pressure, and the newer a343f used with the 2UZ controls pressure electronically via the ECU and has an additional sensor. It is possible to retrofit, just more work. You would also need to swap valve bodies from a donor tundra/Sequoia etc. It's just a lot easier to use the 100 trans the way it is, if you can find one. Check This thread for some more info on using the 80 trans.@DirtSniffer question for ya! I'm doing research on a 2UZ swap too. couldn't you have just re-used your 80 transmission by swapping the bellhousing? From what I've been reading the past few days, the A343F was used in Land Cruisers from 1996-2002 between both engines with a different bellhousing. The bellhousing should be removable and you should just need to swap to the one from the 100 series transmission.
Is it easier with the ECU if you have the newer transmission or something? Thanks ahead of time!
