Yeah, the V8 Soarer has the 1UZFE 4L 4-cam engine that puts out around 195 KW and 350 n-M.
The 100 series Landcruiser got the 4.7L 2uzfe which produces less power, but more torque, than the 4L 1uzfe
The twin turbo 1JZ-GTE 6 cyl engine in my other Soarer has more power and torque than the 1uzfe.
I would love to have a go at transplanting my over-boosted 1JZ TT in to a P38 as an academic exercise. I reckon it could easily chirp the tyres in the first 3 gears

Don't tell me you've bought another toy!

I go away for a few weeks and look what happens!

Boiling away in a record Canadian/Alaskan summer.

(Would you believe it was over 30oC when we crossed the Arctic Circle)

Paul,

Go for the 3UZ. They bolt in on the right mounts, The soarer/crown/supra share the same chassis members so all the engine stuff bolts up. Talk nice to me and I'll share the secrets of 15K+rpm and 800HP from one, naturally aspirated of course.

Now thats global warming.

Was talking to a guy who's put in a gen 2 motor. Says he can smoke all 4 tires into second gear.

I don't know what the 3uz is in, the 200 series? But the 2uz is what the boffins at landrover should have done in 93ish. A major block fixup, 32 valve heads, dual tract inlet manifold, and later in the p38s life maybe variable exhaust valve timing.

3UZ, cast iron, 4.7. Non VVTi, but I can mod the block to provide the oil feed if you fit VVTi heads. We can make the VVTi work with Autronic (only) EFI management. Not much needs to be done from std to have superior (to rover) power and torque but a little work goes a long way. Cams are the most expensive part unless you have me go the whole hog on one and push the RPM boundaries sky high.

Hmmm, P38 @ 15000rpm anyone?

That's the 2UZ which is 4.7L with the cast iron block from the Landcruiser. The 3UZ is 4.3L with aluminium block from the LS430.

BTW I know of your handiwork through Toymods - impressive
