Alright guys here it is. I am installing a 1UZ in my Rising Sun car. We are talking 250hp bone stock 90k mile motor that wants to SCREAM. Since 2008 I have been searching/sourcing/buying parts for a good deal to complete my power build. Right now I am stuck with finding a few more parts to complete the project. I also need hands on deck to help put the car together, lifting the engine, trans, swapping axles, etc. Slowly over time while I am maintaining my budget, I got custom motor mounts and trans mounts made, and the engine/trans sat in one of my spare cars so I can see what is missing and what is left to get it done. With issues stemming from my 4agze from the Rising Sun car, I retired the motor in 2009 because it needed work. I should have left it in storage until I can build it. I try to do as much research as I can in the short free time I had over the years. Keeping it a secret does not allow me to get the proper wisdom and help from friends that may know a lot more about these that get these done. My Ford 8.8 axle is set up for this engine. I have two Supra W58 trans ready for use and as a spare. I have a factory ECU and front sump parts, just need to complete the installation on the engine and seal up the bottom end. I need help finding the following parts/deals: - Custom/different flywheel to mate the 1UZ and W58, using the factory starter (I was thinking 3SGTE flywheel but Kiely you mentioned one being a better fit because of the number of teeth?) - MAF/Intake for 1UZ - Aftermarket radiator that can handle the standard capacity of a 1UZ, will have to custom mount that. - Hydraulic clutch lines (I have the Howe throw out bearing) - Custom driveshaft to mate W58 to Ford 8.8 (who can make one for a good price, and recommendations?) - Oil filter relocation kit - S13/S14 front suspension/steering with 5 lug hubs (will match my Ford rear 5 lugs) - Dual rear caliper brackets and hydro handle (Need to go back to Baer and Wilwood and try to work with them again) Major thanks to Kyle Krebs, Rob Page, Devaughn Wynn, Sachith D, Kiely Burton Mackey, and Doug Van Den Brink for sharing the wisdom, recommendations, connections, and selling me the parts to put together this slow project of mine. You guys may have friends that may be able to help expedite my project, so please spread the word! Im on the home stretch! Thanks guys!
