    A few more pounds/kgs as well, infact allot more weight and would ruin the handling
    Are they really that much heavier? 3UZ is still alloy isn't it? Or is that the 2UZ? I thought the 2UZ was the iron-block truck motor?

    Those UZ engines are great. 6-bolt mains and able to take +500rwhp stock. Cheap too!

      I think from memory they are about 15kgs heavier, but are also longer making the weight distribution not as good as the 1uz. Also the 1uz is cheaper and aftermarket performance parts are much more available

      They are both great engines its just the 1uz is perfered over the 2uz here for thouse reasons

          How close ist it to the brake master cylinder/booster? Where did you get the mounting arms from? Interesting swap. Congrats. Here you have almost all of you torque available from idle.
