Correction, I know I said 3/4 inch plate on the crossmember modification part. Totally meant 1/4 inch!

The 1UZ falling flat on it's face upon acceleration is probably related to the ECU.

The LS400 is well known for having capacitor issues in the ECU, replace the caps and it should be all good.

Thumbs up so you don't throw parts at it

Back and better than before, reborn from the flames like a phoenix lol.

Congrats! Been following your vids for a while the feeling of a running car is amazing when you’re all done

[mountainjeepmike]

I am so stoked!! One last tear down on the pos, and it’s time for some trails buddy!!

[aMpvTRiCKy]

If its running out of fuel approaching WOT may need an upgraded pump or a boost a pump. Just my two cents. Would be cool to see a dual exhaust someday too! Congratz man

[spikeshot]

Hells ya man! Good work on the swap! Can't wait to see it wheel.

[levsheppard]

IT LIVES! LONG AWAITED, FAR OVER DUE, GREAT JOB!

Congrats Clint, man that looks sharp with new bob...may need to put a restrictor in coolant system flowpath..Flowing too fast thru big radiator possibly.

[gammaboxer]

So awesome to see it living and breathing. I sure hope you get all your small remaining issues ironed out and you get back on the trail soon. Cheers

Incredible build man! Great job! Talk about life goals :)

The powersteering running through the tranny cooler is genius. Your build is one of the most entertaining on youtube. Mad props!

Well I might be late to the party, but couldn’t be more stoked to see a fellow British Columbian of all people tinkering with the 1uz

Very nice! Old Toy straight axles are cool as hell, especially with a big V8 in them. I had a 79 I bought in 81 stationed in Arizona. That thing went anywhere I pointed it...not fast but it got there. Loved that truck! Vent the hood to let that hot air you feel when you open it out. The easier it is for the air under the hood to get out the easier it is for cool outside air to go through the radiator. If you don't want to cut your hood space the back at the hinges up a bit and remove the cowl to hood rubber bulb seal. You would be amazed how much hot air comes out of that gap. My Grand Cherokee with the V8 stuffed in it runs cooler with its hood gapped and the AC works better as well.

I really like that setup. 1UZ's are bulletproof. Almost dropped one in my S13

I love this video.
I'm about 90% to completing my Surf Conversion and I just can't wait to getting it running!

[celikal]

I love Toyotas! Great work matching the needed parts.

I have a 1uz swapped 2wd same model. bought the ute already swapped in 2013 but when I got it, it had same issue as yours. Running warm and dropping / or bogging out at high revs. After many months of tinkering and trying to diagnose I figured out the inside of the fuel tank was rusty and the pump was not allowing enough fuel through. Flow at idle was fine at around 120 litters/min and pressure was 42psi. But when I removed the tank and replaced it with a fuel cell and 044 style external pump, now fuel pressure is around 50-55 psi and it revs out fine with no hesitation and engine temps have reduced considerably. Running lean and fuel starvation was causing excess heat and possibly I think ECU was restricting engine revs?? took me a lot of chasing to figure this one out so hopefully I might save you some time. good luck with the build and look forward to the next vid. Regards Luke
