Awesome start, fellas!
Not familiar with the 1UZ 160... is that some secret nomenclature?
Love the sound of the V8 uncorked... sounds mean as hell.
Good luck with the 6 speed swap, and keep us posted!

That looks pretty cool. I missed it on ebay so I have no idea what it went for. I would love to get a template of the trans adapters. I cannot see spending 700+ on them when all they are is steel plates cut on a water cutter. They should not be any more than $150--200 tops
Sounds like a cool project to manual conversion. Please keep us updated.. the more pics the better.

WOW! Nice GS. I bet the whole GS4 community would appreciate a writeup on the v160 swap. That would make such a beast.
