    Thinking about 2uz swap in a 89 mkiii

    You can pick up a good kit for $2700 with crank, rods, pistons, rings and bearings for a 4" bore ls and take it up to 400+ ci easy. I'd limit it to that for a daily.

    sbc in a MK3...

    I have stock 799 cast heads and they will compare to most aftermarket gen 1 heads of same cc intake runner and still have a better velocity for street use. Step up to the l92 or ls7 design and then your into bbc flow rates. That's just for the basics. The motors as a whole are just build light...

    Rebuilding my 7M-GTE Question

    Correct me if I wrong but that looks like a cheap fel pro head gasket? If so I would ditch it and get a quality one. Have your head checked for cracks and warpage. The water you see was from pulling your head off as the water jackets in your head. If not that amount of water would have bent...

    Ls to r154 help

    I'm actually building an engine cradle right now so I can get it off the engine stand where I can get the input shaft into the crank and take some measurements.

    Ls to r154 help

    2461 is what I'm calculating with my current tires @60. Motor should have good torque from 2200 up so it should be right where I need it. Yes that is the plan haven't got it that far yet though. That's good info I didn't know they would even consider doing that. I assume they charged more? If I...

    Ls to r154 help

    You make a valled point and for your setup it sounds like it would be cost efficient for your goal. For me it wouldn't because I'm more into getting a low fat torque curve to get this heavy turd moving. Only real upgrade I'm doing is a cam I've calculated for having around 50 deg of overlap to...

    Ls to r154 help

    I'm gonna go threw your build up and check it out but your running a 1j with r154 right now and your wanting to switch just for an extra gear? Seems like a lot of work for such little gain IMO. Is the yota tranny giving you trouble? Are you planning on lots of hp increase? Bty thanks for the...

    Ls to r154 help

    That's one of my goals is distribution...I believe for my build with the all aluminum motor,the 154 will be my best option. Besides I already have it, it'll handle all I intend to throw at it, and it makes for a 50% yota power train,well 66% if you include the rear end... Hey al don't forget...
