The 2JZ-GE is around 180hp at the wheels.
The 1UZ-FE is around 205hp at the wheels.
The regular 1UZ-FE is not reliable specifically the OBD-I versions. There is a whole multi-page thread about how unplugging the MAF sensor restores power because of an unknown issue.
It is cheaper, easier and more convenient to do a transmission swap instead of an engine swap.

If you seriously want an NA V8 swap you aren't locked in to the the 4.0 engine, you could get a 4.3 or 4.7 Toyota engine to swap in. Check out www.lextreme.com for all forms of Toyota V8 goodness.

yes all in all this will be the easiest way to go about it I think.
But if your looking for 1uz's to swap they are incredibly cheap--i was very surprised.

there was a video in a thread not too long ago that put the soarer 2.5 (1jz gte) againt the soarer 4.0(1uz) and being a v8 guy myself i was sad to see the results.
The 2.5 made very easy work of the 4.0---------on another note the 2.5 pretty much beat every car it was put against-----the 8 series bmw and the acura legend
Although the hp difference is nothing drastic beetween the two engines i think the automatic on the 1uz really takes away from its potential---ive heard ifyou do a manual swap on the v8 it frees up about 25-30 hp that is lost with the auto.
Oh the 1uz 4.0 soarer also lost to the acura legend

that video hurt me as much as anyone.
I was convinced it was driver error or some sort of rigged race.
I didnt want to accept it either.
The fact is the 2.5 soarer really put some distance on the 4.0--whether there was bias in that video or driver error i dont know--but it is what it is---the op can take it for what its worth.
Yes the 4.0 ran in the 16's but if im not mistaken the 2.5 ran in the 13's which is quite impressive.
anyways im still a 1uz guy all the way --just wish there was more readily available and affordable mods for it.

It all comes to money , by the time a swap in a turbo kit with and exhausts ,engine management, intercooler, radiator , etc.. a $1700 turbo kit turns into 5-7 g's real quick,
I was thinking maybe a 5 spd v8 would just be cheaper and more reliable with power on tap.
It makes sense i should of just had a v8(sc400).
Thanks for the info.
