My shortblock was done about 2-3 years ago and was just waiting for the shell. Finally got a break on a high mileage fixer upper. The money I saved will spent on the heads. One step at a time but sure its moving forward. This is a true 1uzfe engine with 2uzfe block. Harness, connectors and sensors are stock and no mod. Its a direct bolt on.

Back to the question of how it will fit into the engine bay. My down pipes are very tight and might need some mods but other then that it will slide right in.

David,
Why are you mounting the alternator on the front? What EMS are you planning to run?

Hey Jason,

Alternator relocated to make room for the turbo pipe on the passenger side and AC will be deleted. This is not my daily driver. My LS400 is my daily so I dont really need AC. When money is little better I will get Autronic SM4 to control 8 1000cc/min injectors.

Do the stock engine mounts from the 1UZ in the SC400 work directly with the 2UZ motor?

That is a very good question. The answer is NO. 1UZ and 2UZ have different engine mount pattern so a custom engine is required. Please see the picture below.
