    lol, you can't..... You have to go with the toyota truck booster which will work fine, and if it isn't there's plenty of high powered compact boosters available for a reasonable price.

    the new mounts aren't solid, but they don't allow much engine movement like poly's and butyl rubber (stockstuff). The other advantages are that these are cheaper than the stock rubbers, they allow more clearance for headers, and I can use the same mounts for several different swaps. Plus I can...

    that's right son... so here's a little video of the engine with the new mounts installed but not bolted in. and here's what they look like. the spud on the plate has a boss turned on the bottom so it can be pressed in, and welded from the backside of the plate. I'm pretty sure that if...

    You might be an LSx owner if

    about the same time and effort. just a bit more cash than I wanted to spend. and for what I can do with the 1uz for the difference in price more than makes up for what it lacks right out of the box in comparison to the ls1 engine. BUUUUTT I still will probably do a lsx swap sometime in the...

    new guy working on a 1uz 84 supra

    good going! It looks like your swap will be exactly the same as my friends 1uz cressida here in town. I'm hoping the 1uz you gotcame out of a ls400 or atleast a front sump engine. btw if you have questions about the swap feel free to ask, and I'll relay them to my friend with the cressida.

    lapping plate and compound question

    use clover lapping compound. it's made by loktite, and comes in several different grits. also 280 grit won't get you to ra20 or less. I'd suggest working up to 500 grit or better in order to get the correct finish. (I just went through this on a part for berkely space sciences lab. The part...
