I wasn’t planning on getting an engine quite so early in the build but I made a silly offer that was accepted.<\/p>\n

So I’m now the proud owner of a 90k 1991 Lexus\/Toyota 1UZ-FE<\/a>, as standard power output is 191 kW (256 hp), torque of 353 N\u00b7m (260 ft\u00b7lbf). A bit more should be released with a decent exhaust but I’m not after massive power, it should do nicely for now.<\/p>\n

So with only a little bit of pain it was squeezed into the Mondeo of many miles.

Doesn’t sit too high in the rear view either, although the Lexus badge will have to go!
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Mount points on the engine (4 bolt holes roughly centre of image) line up pretty nicely to those on the chassis (black thing sticking out at the bottom of the image).
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

The oil filter (left of that image) will have to be relocated as it sticks into the chassis. Not sure what to do with the oil\/water cooler (pipe coming out of the side of the block).<\/p>\n

Only issue with the fitment is that the rear exhaust outlet is *very* close to the chassis, I may have to modify it slightly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
