UZ engine series Q's
Can you buy a 1UZ or 3UZ from lexus, either long block or short block? And also, has anyone heard of people modifying these and putting out decent HP number without the aid of forced induction? I'm thinking along the lines of 400RWHP naturally aspirated. Any information or links to information would be valuable!
PS: What can the UZ rev to if it's built properly?

i dont think the UZ can take it quite that high without FI.
even with the PI TC, LSD, the headers that they are making for the GS V8's, SRT intake and race chip, it won't get quite that high. I would say maybe 350-370 at crank and it would probably place 340 or so on the ground with the aid of the TC and LSD.

Sorry, I'm talking about internals.
I was wondering if the UZ can make serious power with after-market cams, ported heads, perhaps even a stroked crankshaft if they make such a thing.
Oh, and the computer would most likely be standalone, to accomodate the raising of the rev limit.

You guys are AWESOME!
Thanks very much, and keep e'm coming if you have more links to more UZ information.
PS: Does anyone know if Lexus/Toyota sells 3UZ engines as a crate motor or something similar?
