1UZ-FE Bellhousing to fit MWB Soft Top???

Post by Meldge »

Hi Guys, I have been looking on the Net and can't seem to find much info.

I am wanting to put a Toyota V8 in my Middy Soft Top, (Pics coming soon). I was looking at the 2UZ-FE and liked the idea, until i found out it has a cast iron block, the smaller 1UZ-FE is all alloy, lesser capacity but also not as heavy.

I have sent away an email to Dellows about a week ago, I think, but haven't heard back if they have one to suit. Does anybody know of anybody who has done this swap into a FJ70 series cruiser, or know of other companies that I might be able to get a bell housing from.

Much help needed and thanks in advance...

Rod Hadfield at Castlemain Rod Shop would be the one to talk to. I beleive he does a bellhousing to suit a supra box so may also make one to suit a cruiser. If not he can prob make one for you.
