Default 1UZ needed, V8 R154 Swap, Please help

Hi, My name is Kris, I live in Jacksonville, I am attempting a R154 swap in my SC400. I have a friend that is a custom fabricator, that is helping me with the swap. We have decided to cut both bell housings from the auto, and R154 and weld them together. This route will alow us to use the standard master & slave cylinder from the R154. I'm keeping my fingers crossed on this one. To reduce the possible errors, I am now trying to locate either an engine block, blown motor, or a good motor some what close to my area, to use for alignment purposes. From my understanding (which is little) the bottom end of a 1UZ and a 3UZ are the same or close enough to work.

If any one has one of these two motors, or has a lead to a motor, please contact me. this is the last peice of the puzze I need to complete the project.

Thanks for your help,

Kris Koo
