HIGHLY doubt that price is for a brand spankin' new 1UZ motor since the short block alone was listed at ~$9500 last time i checked toyota's part system....


but u can get 98+1UZ from a GS400 (thats ~290hp w/vvt-i) for around 2500 from ebay.

or just go 2jz swap...

I would like to get an idea of what the labor cost is for an engine replacement.

I don't anticipate needing one any time soon since I am at 193,042.

It would love to have it but you're too far. I like to tear it down and learn what's ticking.
