Default UCF20 Engine cover on a UCF10?

I was looking at pictures of the UCF20 Engine cover and was wondering if anyone has put the UCF20 Engine cover on a UCF10. I mean hey they are all 1UZ engines right? Part of me was thinking there might be some issue since I don't see it occur very often. I would very much like to put one on my LS but I don't have access to a UCF20 cover and I don't want to buy one and have it not fit at all.

Thanks!

The 95-97 cover may work since the intake is routed from the back like the 90-94's. The 98-00's intake is routed from the front.

Yes, it will fit. I picked a 1uz with the cover from a 1995 LS this weekend.



The 1995 1uz has an addition mounting bracket on the egr valve.



The cover bolts there and to a threaded boss on the throttle body and the upper ignition coil mount (both of which are on the early 1uz. I test fitted the cover on my 1992 1uz and it fits
