JZS147 to UZS143?
Had anyone ever consider putting a 1UZFE in their 1st Gen? I was thinking about going with the 1UZ since I plan on doing Air Runners.

Should be doable. There are 1st gen aristos that come stock with a 1UZ and 4wd. Might be alot easier if you can get a swap from a jdm aristo. Would be a more "plug and play" affair.

I remember reading somewhere that after the weight and power associated with the swap it would just be easier to go NA-T or swap in a 2JZ. I was considering the same thing until I found out that piece of info.

I did. I have 2 pointers for you:
Wanna be different? do it. If huge power gains is not your goal and you are building a civilized vip vehicle that you will daily drive, this is the swap for you. The only downside is that to find a direct "swap-in" motor set (coming from a ZiFour JDM 1st gen aristo) is going to take some time since there is no demand for this motorset. I was quoted a 4 month wait by Venus auto to get the motorset priced at 1500+ shipping.
If you want to do a manual conversion or plan on building a sport power oriented car, stay away from the 1UZ; power is not cheap, requires lots of custom parts (if you want power or manual conversion), and you can get were you want, power wise, faster and cheaper on a GTE motor. Plus the motor is cheaper to mod and support kind of abundant. I was quoted 2200 + shipping for a motorset.
Hope this info helps.

That was another idea, pulling one out of a LS400 or GS400. Just wonder if the rear differential would fit with some work along with the drive shaft.

This really has me considering this again. I would love to a gte swap but I want the smoother power and grumble of the v8. My car would be no more than a highway cruiser with some occasional show time so this would be perfect.

The 1UZ should be pretty simple if you can get a local importer to set you up with a 1UZ aristo harness and ECU. the motor you can source local unless they give you a good deal. Would make the same fairly easy and plug and play. no harness to modify anything. If you can find one that can get you a half cut even better.
