Default 4.7 Tundra Short block with 1UZ heads

Hey gang,

Anyone know if this would work? Tundra (4.7) bottom with 1UZ DOHC heads (4.0)? Thinking about stroking my next project.

Build yourself a stroker without using the Tundra crank, do a search and you'll find my instructions on what you need...

Since I am getting custom pistons, I would like to find out more info on this issue. Maybe I can sneak the 4.7 crank in. I wonder what the new cubic inch would produce in the 4.0 liter engine. Secondly, i wonder if the oil pain would clear the large crank.

Anyone know where i can find one for cheap? I went to www.car-parts.com. Two places have the engine block (short block) for $500. I am thinking about paying about $200 fo or the crank. Its a R&D project therefore, i dont want to pay too much.

Jon, I was under the impression that the 1uz and 2uz cranks were not interchangable as the crank journals were different. But that is NOT first-hand knowledge on my part. Anybody know for sure?

I just found out its not worth the trouble. This is what I got from a forum Down Under.

Tundra 2UZFE 94 bore 84 stroke 9.6:1 4.7L
LS430 2UZFE ? bore ? stroke ?:1 4.3L
1UZFE 87.5 bore 82.5 stroke 10:1 4.0L

Seems like you are only going to get an extra 1.5mm stroke. Which means going from 3968cc to 4040cc. Harldy worth the expense. Probably better to find a Tundra block, if the internals are of the same quality. People might do it if they have a Tundra crank lying around.. the 1UZ rods could work, and would raise the compression a little for an atmo engine.

Corrected my post above , i'll be specific - larger sleeves, stock Tundra dished pistons, Tundra head gaskets, 1UZ rods, you can get to almost 5 litres, but with this setup I believe you will not gain compression Lextreme, but rather you'd lose at least half a point of compression, too tired to do the math right now, but i'll calculate it later to make sure, but that would be bueno for your FI setup...
