    My 76 280z 1jz build thread

    in Toyota L6 Forum

    Posted

    Most of the swaps I see in this forum are mid sump jz series. has anyone successfully swapped in a front sump engnine? To me it looks like from everyones pics that there is enough room and especially with how far back these things sit. I have a 2jz front sump engine I have been building for the past few months and was getting ready to purchase a mid sump setup from a gte engine locally. If I don't have to spend 300 bucks on that guys sump then I can move onto buying other more important things like my transmission. Someone that builds his own pans such as yourself Pat would most likely know if this would clear or not.

     

    Btw, I love your setup and I can only imagine how fast your car is! My friend and I put a 1jz into his TE corola, that thing weighed about as much as our z's. It was consistently laying down low 13's high 12's in stock form and then when he went single, low 12's weren't even an issue.

     

    Also you always want the motor as far back in the engine bay as humanly possible....you dont want the thing to drive like a FWD car do you!? lol,,,you can barley fit a finger behind my set up with the Betamotorsports cross member.
