1jz into VN

[1uzVN]

thanks for the tip
ill keep that in mind when im making the mounts might make it easyer for me.

sell the 1JZ and buy a 1UZ for the VN....might as well put turbos on as well..

Making the engine mounts is just the start of your nightmare.

 

[1uzVN]

why is that have you done the convertion ?? or know any one that has ??
if so would it be possible to get some photos of the mounts.
we have everything sorted except the mounts now.

cant sell the 1jz and put a 1uz in
thats what we are putting in my car i dont want him to have the same engine

Engine mounts are fairly easy with a 1JZ, use the existing toyota mounts to make, you just need to remake the top part of the mount to go from the block to the rubber commodore mount, sit the engine in the car, use blocks of wood and packing to get it sitiing in the right place, then use cardboard to make up the shapes need. once you are happy with the cardboard mounts, use these as templates and remake out of 75x6 Flat steel.

If you don't want to go to that trouble I MAY be able to get my hands on mounts made to suit a VR, which should fit the VN.
Only other things to consider is gearbox cross memeber (easy just mod the existing VN item to accept the A340 mounts, tailshaft, I had to have custom front shaft made as the VL required a 100mm extra, also had the yoke modified to accept the standard VL uni's as the Toyota ones are not serviceable ( read throw away and buy new $$$$$$).

thanks for that
it is pritty much what i thought we would do
if you could get your hands on the VR mounts would be good
even a few pics would be good
thanks again
