Actually, mine isn't the first...Darren (A.K.A V8 Cressida) had already done one some time ago. I had been wanting to do this for a while but wasn't sure it would work, but when I saw the initial photos of Darren's car and knew it would work, I set about making it happen.
As for the work, most was done by a local mechanic, as I don't have the tools, time or know-how. I also got some help with wiring etc from Erol Richardson and Russell (A.K.A kdog who, incidentally, is in the process of fitting a 1UZ to an NA Fairlane). I did dome of the wiring, including the wiring of the ignitors and mounting on a custom-made heat-sink assembly, and removing and re-fitting the tail-shaft after getting it lengthened.
1UZ fits well, but is tight. Extractors are a no go, unless custom fabricated (a "down the track" proposition)
Exhaust is via modified stock headers into single 2.5" single straight thru, with one cat and a resonator.
Engine management is via Autronic SMC (differs to Darren's in that he ran factory management).
Stock radiator is retained, though clutch fan is gone, replaced by a twin-thermo setup from an EF Falcon. Engine management uses MAP sensor, thus there is no AFM.
We even managed to retain the original (7M A/T) ECU to control the transmission.
It isn't finished, but the mechanics are done. All that remains are the cosmetics, sound etc.
