The 1UZ you find will be ~10-15 years older. You'll find them more complete (for the dollar) but that might end up reinvested in building the engine.

Currently only automatics bolt up to the UZ series. They make adapter plates but price adds up quickly.


5VZ 3.4L DOHC would be a good motor, apart from the early ones having headgasket problems, (arp's FTW) the only real restriction in the motor is the cams, and I think there are solutions for that now. Plus there are 2wd toyota trans that bolt up to the S/VZ series that came in the 2wd 3vz trucks. 5vz was designed for boost from the factory, and plenty of parts laying around. The manifolds can be flipped like a 5.0 for easy turbo setup too.

Those come in/can be made RWD?

I like the 3800 Series-II a lot.

My buddy has a buick regal with a 3800 in it, running something like 20psi with meth on a stock motor. Its scary fast and granpa shits himself everytime it blows past him.

The GN is an iron block.

This makes the 13b attractive.. size and weight.

GN's ---- cranks if you look at them funny. The vortec 4300 has a better crank than a Grand National.

Seriously, what the ---- is wrong with you? Who cares how light it is if you have to constantly fix the damn thing?
