BayAreaZT Posted June 22, 2004 Share Posted June 22, 2004 A Lexus V8 has been done before but I don't think there is any documentation on it. I've seen the 1UZ in the MKIII supra and 7MGTEs fit nicely in the Z so it should fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheelman Posted June 22, 2004 Share Posted June 22, 2004 There is a picture of a 240 with one installed in the JTR (Jags That Run) conversion manual but no information, just a picture. Just proves it can be done. I've been contemplating this engine for my next project, whatever it may be. Seems to me this engine would be very nice in a Z.

Guest scrote:v2 Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 yeah have seen the pic but thought this was in a 260z. is the engine bay the same size as the 240z. would love to know some more details about the conversion so im not going in completly blind on mine. anyone got size of the engine bay for measurments??

Heavy Z Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 Same size engine bay, not sure on measurements. Good luck, sounds like a cool idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest quadcamZ Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 SCROTE it will fit it will pull like a mule fitting exhaust is a little difficult but all in all not that bad. get stuck in. If i was to do it again i would run a manual W58 or some thing. and 3.9 diff gears but that is completley dependant on you i like a nice fast cruizer. any specifis questions PM me on lextreme i check it more regularly.
